My 10-year-old daughter is traumatized and screams, asking us to help those poor pups, kittens, monkeys, and other animals that cry from the staged fake animal torture and cruelty videos coming out of China. These distressing videos are profited from by the Chinese app NewsBreak and its CEO, Jeff Zheng. Despite the clearly stated community guidelines against such content, these horrific videos are freely accessible, affecting the mental health of our children in the Western world. Some, like my daughter, are even in counseling due to these gruesome scenes.

The staging and distribution of such content are not only unethical but also highly detrimental to young minds. Animal cruelty has no place in our society, and yet, this app allows for the circulation of videos that capitalize on fake animal torture and slaughter, all in the name of profit. The psychological impact on children is evident and alarming, leading to heightened anxiety, sleep disturbances, and an instilled fear and sadness.

We are calling on parents, educators, and concerned individuals to join us in demanding accountability from NewsBreak. As a major platform, it has the responsibility to monitor content and protect vulnerable users from such harmful material. It is imperative that they take immediate action to remove these videos and ensure stricter enforcement of community guidelines.

We must hold NewsBreak accountable for the sake of our children's mental wellbeing. It is essential that they acknowledge the repercussions of hosting such content and take steps to rectify this issue. Your signature can help advocate for safer digital spaces for our youth and press NewsBreak to implement necessary changes.

Sign this petition to urge NewsBreak to prioritize the mental health of children and eliminate these disturbing videos from their platform.
