What the petition asks
Would like government to challenge facebook on its stance for banning uk citizens from using St George's flag on facebook posts
Because it is pure discrimination against british public showing patriotism in sharing the flag on there page
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
How social media companies such as Facebook check posts on their platforms is a matter for them, not the UK Government or Parliament.
In any case, Facebook has apologised for what it says was a mistake in blocking certain images showing the St George's Flag and reinstated the accounts involved.
