Rejected petition Ban the media from showing photos of the victims of terror attacks.

Following the recent terror attacks in London, the media should be banned from showing images of the victims in the aftermath of the attacks. If the media do show such content, they should be fined. It is not in the public interest and unfair on the loved ones of the victims.
