Make it law to supply ID to hold a social media account.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it law for social media providers to require ID to hold a social media account of any kind.

As, arguably the most influential forms of interaction, it beggars belief that accountability for commentary on these platforms is not regulated. The anonymity currently allowed needs to be stopped. Nobody should be able to abuse others free of accountability.
