Produce id to sign up for social media to prevent trolls making another account
Rejected

What the petition asks
I feel that if you have to produce ID when signing up for social media if you have been reported for bullying and you’ve been warned multiple times then the account should be removed and then they cannot sign up for another as they would have to show ID so they wouldn’t be able to then continue.
I feel that if it becomes a mandatory requirement for social media platforms then we can really make a difference and stamp out trolling once and for all!
