Rejected petition Ban the sale and distribution of books and publications that promote terrorism

There are books and publications openly available online, in bookshops etc. which openly promote terrorism. These should be banned. Where ever possible they should be confiscated. Uploading such publications online should also be a criminal offence.

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 Terrorism Act 2006 made the dissemination of terrorist publications an offence, and the Government recently introduced additional laws to create new offences regarding obtaining or viewing terrorist material.

If you want the Government to change the criteria for these offences, or fund increased enforcement of these laws, you could start a new petition requesting this.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
