What the petition asks

On the 22nd May 2019 Google brought out a new policy to block all adverts relating to the repair of computers and other technology goods. This policy has had a detrimental affect on many legitimate computer repair shops and companies across the UK and beyond.

Why it was rejected

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

This would be a decision for Google. The UK Government and Parliament isn't responsible for deciding what adverts are accepted by companies like Google, unless those adverts break the law.
