More details from petition creator
I wish to add my voice to the motion to push HM Government to make provisions to help, advise, warn and generally educate the British public as to the dangers on the Internet, and have some simple method to report scams and con men.
We wish that there be setup a task force to track down and prosecute any individual or entity that seeks to harm, damage, defraud, threaten or cause stress or worry to any British citizen.
We wish the Government to strictly enforce the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (c. 18), ISBN 0105418900 as amended.
We also wish the Government to create arrangements with all other countries in order that the prosecutions are worldwide.
Finally and most important, it must be friendly and easy to use!
