Rejected petition: Stop the Watch This Space green paper
Rejected on
The government's proposals to give public service broadcasters more visibility on social media platforms will do nothing to stop misinformation online. It will simply put content creators livelihoods and jobs at risk. And it will allow biased articles and content from broadcasters to thrive.
This petition is made so that the government can listen to the voices of several disgruntled and worried content creators in the UK.
This petition is being made to protect the careers of content creators from being shattered. And to protect real unbiased news from creators from being suppressed. And importantly, protect freedom of speech
