This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government cannot interfere with offensive content on the internet if it is not actually illegal. And there are laws already about inciting racial hatred. However, this is somthing the Government is monitoring closely.

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