Fund a government-run online age verification system
We call on the UK Government to establish and fund a centralised, secure age verification system that is free or low-cost for platforms. This system could enable age checks to protect vulnerable users while supporting small to medium-sized businesses and comply with the Online Safety Act.

Replace age verification process set out in Online Safety Act to voucher system
We the undersigned wish for the government to change how online age verification is currently handled because we have serious concerns about online security and the potential for fraud as a result of the current implementation requiring websites to do their own checks, often with data sent abroad.
Create a mandatory, government-enforced age rating system for books
Create and give age rating system for books, like films, that are mandatory and enforced by the Government. This could stop the wrong books getting into the hands of children.
Enact new law prohibiting use of the internet for children under the age of 18
Some children are using VPNs to circumvent the age-related provisions in the Online Safety Act. I propose that to protect children it should be illegal for anybody under the age of 18 to access the internet. This would protect children from the dangers of the internet and preserve internet privacy.
Require all social media platforms to verify identity of accounts
Make identity verification a legal requirement for all existing and new users on social media platforms. Nicknames could be used to maintain anonymity in the public eye, but accounts will be linked to real identities to help ensure social media users can be traced by authorities.
Review laws preventing under 18s from access to online sexual content
We ask the Government to review laws that prevent under 18s from accessing sexual content online. We want the review to look into focusing instead on improving and implementing mandatory sex and relationships education for all students.
