What the petition asks
I would like the government to look at cases where people have been trolled on social media and put them on a ban or get the messages removed not long after being published.
Too many people have been trolled, hated and hurt. Getting trolled on social media it affects a persons mental well-being. Getting a ban or getting the comments removed quickly will help to prevent people’s mental health to go worse and helps people with their self esteem.
