Background
We are asking the government to introduce social media accounts to be linked to ID due to:
Prevent abusers utilising fake accounts to message & harass vulnerable groups including children.
Reduce the amount of trolling and hate speech by individuals who think they can absolve responsibility by hiding behind fake social media accounts
Ensure that with social media, that freedom of speech is correctly linked to consequences of action.
