Make the use of automated software to buy limited stock items illegal.
I am calling on the government to make the use of automated software to purchase limited items such as video game consoles illegal in the UK.
Every major games console release, some people are using automated software to purchase multiple consoles. These people are then selling them for inflated prices on 3rd party websites such as eBay, taking advantage of poorer families who just want to make their kids happy and taking advantage of times like Christmas.
