    "content": "At the heart of that Petition are issues of morality. You can never legislate morality. When faced with such an issue, former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, said that the government can never come to your house to switch off your television. In the same breath, Parliament cannot go to individual households to switch off TikTok because children are misusing it. It is up to parents, religious institutions and schools to bring up the issue of morality and not to over-legislate morality. Finally, because this Petition will not come before the Departmental Committee on Communications, Information and Innovation, I plead with the Public Petitions Committee, when considering this issue, to also look at the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act that was passed by this House, with some provisions suspended by the courts. There were some very critical provisions that would have aided us in dealing with some of the issues being raised in this Petition. The Committee should also propose to my Committee what we can do to unlock some of these provisions in the Act so that we can deal with some of these issues."
