• undermines, or is intended to undermine, the integrity, prosperity or security of the UK or a country other than the UK
• directly or indirectly causes, or is intended to cause, economic loss to, or prejudice to the commercial interests of, those affected by the activity
• undermines, or is intended to undermine, the independence or effective functioning of an international organisations or a non-government organisation or forum whose mandate or purposes related to the governance of international sport or the Internet, or
