Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about how to use social media are a matter for individual MPs, not the UK Government or Parliament. Similarly, decisions about the terms and conditions for particular social media platforms are a matter for individual social media platforms, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
