Require ID to set up social media accounts for accountability and traceability
Make law that everyone should have to link a passport or equivalent when creating an account on any social media in order to protect people online and make trolls traceable and charged. Being traceable for everything you post will make people think twice about what they post.
The death of many people including Caroline Flack has highlighted an issue that has been spoken about, cried about and challenged by 1000s online - the abuse, harassment and bullying that social media gives rise to.
The problem within social media is many people make false accounts to post derogatory comments/articles about others on the platforms.
People set up fake accounts and can say whatever they like without being held responsible for the consequences.
Make social media safer place
