"The Media Sovereignty Act Does Five Things:
Bans foreign media ownership.
Bans the concentration of UK national media ownership by one person or corporation.
Funds independent and local media with a social media levy.
Requires national media to be under the remit of the statutory regulator.
Requires dark-money funded think-tanks that are covered by the media to declare donations in real time.
When we get to 10,000 signatures, the government has to provide a response.
When we reach 100,000 signatures, the government has to consider the petition for debate in Parliament."
