Make Facebook remove beheading videos
After previously banning beheading videos, Facebook has decided to allow them on their website again ('Facebook lets beheading clips return to social network, BBC News, 22/10/2013, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24608499).
These videos will be able to be seen by children aged 13 and above. If UK citizens aren't allowed to buy videos containing a similar level of (fake) bloody violence until they are 18, Facebook has a duty to prevent people seeing graphic violent videos of real life murders and crimes on their website. They are glorifying violence.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Facebook is responsible for its content, and has withdrawn such videos.
