Petition Action

We call for mandatory sentences for those using social media to issue threats.

Petition Details

In the past years, and not just in the United Kingdom, there has been a marked increase in the misuse of social media forums and telephone to threaten those, who lawfully express their own opinions, with threats, violence, or death.

Additional Information

The use of social media has been discussed by Parliament and its Committees in order to create within the operating companies a more responsible and responsive approach to the misuse of their platforms.
