Scrap anonymity on all social media platforms
I would like the government to scrap anonymity on all social media platforms in the UK to stop cyber bullying.
Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. It has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers, as the digital sphere has expanded and technology has advanced. By scrapping anonymity on all social media platforms it means that not only will everyone will be responsible for what they post on social media but they will be easily identifiable.
