Petition · past parliament

Help enforce all social media sites MUST use ID to register, to reduce racism.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Help fight a legal campaign against racist comments and hate crime on social media. If all accounts have to be registered and confirmed with ID then all accounts are traceable. As a government I also think is important to enforce harsher sentencing against this kind of discrimination.
You have the stance to make this a legal requirement, you have the stance to fight for those in your country, use this. We have to protect those at all cost, especially after the backlash from the England game last night. As a government you must do more.
