Rejected petition Stop the media from publishing the names of those who commit acts of terrorism

Each time there is an act of terrorism on the streets of London the media seem to thrive on publishing the names of those responsible, thus helping them gain their fame and hero status.

More details

Recent acts of terrorism have led the media into a frenzy to name those responsible. This only ads to their fame and boosts their quest for glory as well as promoting their cause. The act of terrorism in London on 22/03/2017 is a prime example of this. We need to stop giving these people publicity and focus on victims rather than perpetrators.
