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.

How social media companies such as Facebook check posts on their platforms is a matter for them, not the UK Government or Parliament.

In any case, Facebook has apologised for what it says was a mistake in blocking certain images showing the St George's Flag and reinstated the accounts involved.

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