Ban convicted abusers from dating and social media sites and apps

Petition Details

I believe that there needs to be an automatic legal ban on convicted being able to use social media and or dating apps and consequences when failing to adhere to these rules.

Additional Information

There are currently hundreds of convicted abusers of all types accessing social media and dating apps and freely being able to conceal their crimes. In todays technological age where the majority of people spend a large amount of time online, this provides easy access to potential victims. This increases the risk of someone coming to harm at the hands of an abuser and prevents people from making informed decisions to protect their safety.
