Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that your concerned about the consequences of convicted criminals being named or having their photos published on social media, but it's not clear exactly what you want to do about this.
Your petition asks for the Government to stop publishing the names and pictures of criminals on social media, but it's not clear if you just want Government social media accounts to stop reporting details of convicted criminals, or if you want any publication of the names and photos of convicted criminals to be banned.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to ban the reporting of the names or appearance of convicted criminals, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
