What the petition asks
Textual based social media platforms need to be banned immediately until content regulation is voted in. A digital health and safety board must be setup to pass these apps.
These platforms allow unlimited followers and following and do not require a verified photo of the user to use the application.
We think that they allow hate speech and defamatory content to spread virally.
They are the free to use platforms. We think they allow the spread of hate speech, and allow the incitement of violence and anti social behaviour, giving victims life long horrific memories.
