Ban the computer game Fortnight

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

This game is really affecting children, it is making the aggressive and addicted. They are tired and school works suffering. Setting time limits doesn't work as Microsoft charges it . Children are rushing their dinner and homework to enable them to play it. No other game causes problems like this

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 UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for banning specific games. That's the responsibility of the Video Standards Council, which is responsible in the UK for implementing the PEGI age rating system which is used in over 30 countries throughout Europe.
