Ban the use of bots for all online purchase

Petition Details

2018 legislation bans people from using automated software to buy more tickets for events than they are allowed. This now need to extend to ban the use of bots for all online purchases.

Additional Information

Not only are bots used for profiteering (and particularly during the pandemic this is morally wrong), but it disadvantages those that do not use the software.

It is creating a market of "scalpers", who then take advantage of those less fortunate.
