Remove "Innocence of Muslim" Anti-Islam film from internet.
The right of 'freedom to speech' is being misused. This film provokes hatred & violence by hurting Muslims. It defames the religion & followers of Islam. Giant web companies like Google and You tube have lost their moral & social duty by rejecting the removal of this film in the name of their policies and freedom of speech. This film violates blasphemy law and freedom of religion to British people. Therefore, we demand the removal of this film from internet. If we cannot do this, then government should ban access to you tube and other websites in this country till this film is not removed. In future, strict law should be made by government to avoid such clashes between freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Freedom of speech should not become a reason for animosity in the society. We believe that by doing this UK will achieve its goal of being a just and tolerant society.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In the UK we support a self-regulatory model for the Internet and the vast majority of the UK ISP industry takes a responsible approach to what content it hosts. ISPs have contracts with their customers called good practice Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs), which they have recently strengthened, about what may be hosted on their servers.
Therefore, complaints about a particular website’s content should first be directed to the site’s manager. Most AUPs already contain a general clause which allows ISPs to remove sites or content which contain offensive or objectionable material, even if it is not illegal.
