Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. We think you mean a DSMA Notice, which is the responsibility of the independent Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee and does not prevent reporting.
