Raise the minimum legal age to make adult content to 25

Closed 222 signatures

What the petition asks

We think the minimum age to become a content creator in the adult industry should be raised to 25 to protect the welfare of young adults.
We feel that young people are vulnerable and should be protected from getting into this line of work at such an early age. We have heard stories being revealed, predominately about young females, who have admitted to getting involved in situations that they regret or struggled to get out of. We think the modern day headlines are becoming a danger to society by glamorising the industry as a way to make 'quick and easy money' and target those who are not old enough to understand the potential consequences.
