Ban all Anonymous Image-Based Bulletin Boards

Closed 228 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government have to protect its citizens and completely ban Anonymous Image-Based Bulletin Boards; which are too often being used to display and promote non-consensual pornography and indecent images of children. The freedom of anonymity online is being abused with damaging effects.
Anonymous Image-Based Bulletin Boards (IBBB) are being used for Non-Consensual Pornography and contain illegal activity such as Upskirting, Revenge pornography, and indecent images of children. Anonymous IBBB’s allow these behaviours and some users promote dangerous and illegal activity as well as brag about their anonymity. This can be incredibly harmful for children, women and vulnerable people. Banning IBBBs that allow anonymity should help tackle this behaviour.
