Reform petition.parliament.uk as it's insufficiently protected against botting
People have been botting petition polls using open source and freely available tools on the internet. As such the petitions website produces screwed results which could influence politicians to make decisions based not in the public interest.
The website should be closed until further notice and a system should be put in place which requires further scrutiny such as; passport or other valid identification checks.
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:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We already 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. For security reasons, we don’t tell people when their fraudulent activity has been unsuccessful.
We don’t comment in detail about the security measures, but all petitions are subject to checks as part of due diligence and any concerns investigated. We're therefore not sure exactly what further action you'd like to see.
