Make Racism on Social Media a Criminal Offence.
Social media platforms need to take more accountability when it comes to users being racist towards others, on their platforms.
On the Social media platform Tiktok for example, people can comment on others and the reporting system mostly always comes back with no violations found.
There needs to be stricter rules regarding social media and what gets done when racism is being reported.
It is taking a toll on many people's life's who have to deal with comments of a Racist nature. Users can use slurs about cotton picking, boats or monkeys and get away with it. There needs to be something in place that sees some form of punishment, or more lives will be lost due to the daily harrasment.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
It is unclear as to whether you would like the definition of what counts as a hate crime expanded, or whether you would like social media companies to moderate better.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
