Introduce legal standards for the publishing of pro anti-vax on social media

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Vaccines levels are at an all time low, partially due to the spread of misinformation of social media platforms

With the spread of fake news and vaccine hesitancy, we risk losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities against devastating and preventable disease

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. In particular, we aren't sure what you mean by "legal standards".

You could start a new petition setting out clearly what changes in the law you would like to see.
