Petition Make it illegal to share someone's criminal convictions on social media

No one should be allowed to share details of anyone's convictions for criminal offences on any social media outlet as this can cause harm or harassment and even incite vigilantism.

More details

In today's world with the rise of social media it is too easy for people to cause harm by sharing sensitive information, including about a person's criminal convictions.

Once this information is on social media it can cause significant harm. We believe this should be made illegal.
