This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Ban and delete racism on social media.
I am creating this petition to stop racism on social media as it offends many people. An example....An account has recently been made to mock the religion of Islam, many times this person has called Allah (SWT) a pig and been disrespectful towards the prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
More details
This petition is not just to stop racism towards Islam and Muslims, it is also to raise awareness that racism is unacceptable and needs to be put to a stop immediately.Many people have been deeply offended by this and this isn't right because these people haven't done anything like that towards others to receive this hatred. This is not right.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The UK Government and Parliament don't have the power to control all social media. Some existing laws are already enforced against comments made on social media.
If you could start a new petition with a clearer request for action, we could look at this again.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
