Rejected petition Make users of the internet have an online passport linked to Government Gateway

Implement an imminent change to internet security. Make all users of social media have an online passport that links to our government gateway accounts so nobody can set up a fake profile.

More details

This will most importantly protect our children from peadophiles but also prevent stalkers from utilising the internet to stalk their targets by hiding behind fake profiles.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you're concerned about the use of anonymous accounts online, however it's not clear whether you want all internet users, which include children, to be required to hold a Government Gateway account in order to access any part of the internet, or for this to solely apply to social media sites.

You might like to sign this petition which calls for a similar action:

'Make verified ID a requirement for opening a social media account.': https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/598012

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
