Ban social media for under-16s to protect children
Ban social media access for under-16s. We think this could protect their mental health and childhood. Evidence shows it can cause harm, exposing children to bullying, addiction and inappropriate content. Follow Australia’s lead to prioritise their well-being. Social media can wait—childhood cannot.
Require manufacturers to label caffeine content on all pre-packed coffee
Pre-packed coffee in the UK (instant, ground, filter) does not have to show caffeine content, unlike energy drinks or medicines with over 150mg of caffeine per litre. We feel consumers like pregnant women and heart patients therefore can't track intake safely.
Ban non-essential cookies in apps for under-13s and require parental consent
Apps designed for children under 13 often ask them to accept cookies. There are concerns this could expose them to tracking. We ask the government to ban non-essential cookies in apps designed for children age 13 and under and require parental consent for all data collection.
