Social Media Ban


Social Media Ban
The issue
Hi, my name’s Henry and I run Carlton.blues26. I know there’s talk about banning people under 16 from having social media accounts, and because I’m 15 that would mean my page gets taken down.
I’m asking for an exception. My page isn’t about bad stuff, it’s about footy Carlton Football Club to be exact. I post updates, fan content, and connect with other Blues supporters. It’s not just a random account, it’s something I’ve put heaps of effort into and a way to be part of the Carlton community.
Taking this away doesn’t protect me, it just shuts down something positive that I’ve built. Carlton.blues26 has never been about causing harm it’s about sport, friendship, and community.
By signing this petition, you’re saying that pages like mine shouldn’t be punished just because of an age rule that doesn’t fit everyone. Young fans should be able to show passion for their club and have their voices heard, the same way older supporters can.
Please let me keep Carlton.blues26 alive.
