Take action against Facebook! As it goes against our freedom of speech

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Anyone getting fed up with getting blocked for the most simplest things? Sharing factual posts and having Facebook block you for sharing such information? It’s time “we thee real people” take action
Search my Facebook Andy riches and you’ll see some incidents of Facebooks infringement of our freedom of speech! That’s if they haven’t deleted it again!

Why it was rejected

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

This would be the responsibility of Facebook and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to create a law governing social media companies if that's something you would like to see happen.
