Make spamming people illegal
Make spam emails, texts, phone calls and other forms of spam illegal. It is extremely annoying and frustrating when you receive non-stop alerts on your device from spammers.
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:
We're not sure what action you would like us to take. Under the the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, it is already illegal to send unsolicited marketing communications via text, phone call or email.
If you're concerned about a specific case or incident, you can contact the Information Commissioner's Office, which is responsible for enforcing these rules, using the link below:
