apply EU regulations interms of underage online usage

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I to write a pledge to you,inorder to apply the EU regulations,in terms of the cyber crime related to the under age topic. The proposed rule comes as part of a major overhaul of data protection laws
the eu regulations state that underage (under 16)have to use social media only with parental consent
the number of complaints received from underage online,due to threats,sexual materials are quite high
which are a waste for police resources,not only in uk&but for other countries resources when complaint is against a person outside uk from uk
social media contains adult material,weather they shared directly to underage or by others in main pages
also underage will use facebook to send explicit material,according to a survey
more over 90% of underage lie about their age for filthy desires
