Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make all sharing of explicit images or video without consent illegal

Currently it is not illegal for someone to share explicit images or video without the consent of those feature, as long as they don't intend to cause distress to those featured. We want motive removed from this offence's definition, so all non-consensual sharing of such content is illegal.

More details

Millions of women are having explicit content featuring them shared without their knowledge or consent, and the law is inadequate to tackle this activity.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
