(2) The procedure and safeguards subject to which such blocking for access by the public may be carried out, shall be such as may be prescribed. (2) (a) (b) (c) (3) (4) A person is guilty of an offence if, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another, hesends by means of a public electronic communications network, a message that he knows to be false, causes such a message to be sent; or persistently makes use of a public electronic communications network. A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or to both.
