Remove 'the Sun' as a 'Discover' feature on Snapchat.
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
'The Sun' newspaper is disliked by many who have a connection to the Hillsborough tragedy. Also, it is extremely distasteful to start this feature on the day of the verdict. Given the history, I believe removing 'the Sun' from the 'Discover' part of Snapchat would be the right thing to do morally.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. This would be a decision for Snapchat.
