Act to prevent online racial abuse

Petition Details

The Government should make it a criminal offence to use images of people without their consent to mock them online. It should also look at how those posting content from other countries, or on sites hosted in other countries but available in the UK, can be prosecuted and brought to justice.

Additional Information

My 21 month old grandson was killed in 2013 and was targeted by a US website. He was called horrific racist names and his death mocked because he was black. The Government should do all it can to stop this abhorrent material.
