What the petition asks

This campaign serves to debate the role of businesses (coffee shops and privatised transport agencies) publishing harmful and discriminatory content that is detrimental to minority groups (based upon ethnic, sexual or gender-affiliated propaganda, misconception and inferiority-inferentialism).

Articles such as this forming the front page of freely accessible newspapers, creating social division, stigmatisation and discrimination from newspaper consumers towards protected minority groups.
