Stop Facebook publishing murder and keep our children safe from such atrocities.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

I use Facebook regularly and recently I've noticed a high influx of murders being shown, yesterday I witnessed one of the most disturbing videos I've ever seen and no child should ever have access to something like this without restrictions and Facebook refuse to take it down? Why?
So now I've started this petition to make Facebook know as a parent, I am not happy with it and they MUST stop publishing gruesome videos like this and be held accountable for their actions! Please, please sign and share with everybody you know and get this sorted! #MurderHasNoPlaceOnFaceBook

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a matter for Facebook, not the UK Government or Parliament.
