This petition was rejected

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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Sending people offensive or threatening messages online is already an offence. You can find out more about the prosecuting guidelines here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
