Under-16 Social Media Ban

Petition richtet sich an: Maltese Parliament

By introducing a social media ban for under-16s, Malta can create a safer online environment, protect children's wellbeing, and ensure that technology supports healthy development rather than harming it.

Social media platforms should verify users' ages and prevent children under 16 from creating accounts. Companies that fail to enforce the law should face penalties. This will help protect young people from online harm, cyberbullying, and addiction while supporting their mental wellbeing and education.
