Rejected petition Remove racist Facebook pages

More details

There are many vile pages on facebook. One of the biggest offenders is the EDL. These pages contain many racist and offensive posts with a high number of threats of violence to boot. These posts should not be tolerated on such a popular website as there are disgusting.
A added note is that many of these posts are prejudical and presume guilt of people before they are found guilty.
Remove that too.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

There are already laws against hate crime on the internet, but the Government is always monitoring the situation.

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