JSON data on gov. petitions should show ip address & user agent of each signer
It has been claimed that some petitions in the past have been distorted by automative bots, or people signing up via multiple temporary email account to sign petitions, by showing more JSON data, like ip address and user agent string of each signer it would help stop fraudulent petitioning.

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 can't accept your petition because publishing this data would be a breach of data protection law and the privacy rules set out on the UK Government and Parliament petitions site:
petition.parliament.uk/privacy
The Government Digital Service monitor petitions to check for fraudulent activity. We use a number of techniques, automated and manual, to identify and block signatures from bots, disposable email addresses or other sources that show signs of fraudulent activity. We also monitor signing patterns.
You could start a new petition calling for people to have to register on the petitions site before signing petitions if that is something you would like to see happen.
