If you're in the UK, you need to sign this petition. No one can really tell the difference between an 18 year old and a 16 year old. With thousands of pornographic images uploaded daily worldwide, many of them "leaked" content without consent, many could be unknowingly viewing and sharing child pornography. It's part of the reason why this petition exists. The other part is that 18 is simply too young to understand the implications of having your images online for the rest of your life. Too young to consent to the dangerous world of porn performing. Many participants suffer from a range of mental health issues too. Google never forgets. Making it 21 is a good transition, for now, to allow young people - and especially women - have more time to think. It could also, hopefully, lead to the ages of people appearing to be verified by the poster before uploading. This could effectively ban leaked child sexual abuse material if uploaded in the UK by bad actors. If you're UK-based. PLEASE sign and share! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/779163?fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81NjcwNjczNDMzNTI0MjcAAaeSh1I92IH52PP714KkAkJRoHlwK0BLfHlb7tnzNNxqOYEEocnyae6bxGv0Ig_aem_x-tihXAA35_TSfARmC5GfA&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv6
