Stop the misogynistic censoring of females on Facebook and instagram

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Facebook and Instagram are constantly censoring non-explicit female content. As part of the equalities act this must be challenged. There is often no legal or moral reason for this censorship.
It is affecting female businesses being run when accounts are removed or ad accounts are blocked

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 the issue you raise. This is a matter for social media companies to decide.
