Make all broadcaster social media & website content subject to Ofcom regulation.
Ofcom regulate TV & Radio news. These services must report news with due impartiality. Increasing use of social media and websites by these services is not covered by the regulator, or by their regulations. Extend the mandate of Ofcom to ensure due impartiality by news broadcasters on these media.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you would like Ofcom to regulate all broadcaster online content. However Ofcom only regulate the BBC, Channel 3, Channel 4, Channel 5 and S4C. We're not sure whether you would like your petition to extend Ofcom's remit for regulating these channels, or whether you would like Ofcom to regulate other channels.
We're also not sure what you mean by website content. It is already under Ofcom's remit to regulate video-on-demand services, so you need to be clear what other website content you would like to see regulated.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
