What the petition asks

Social media has become an everyday source of communication and has done amazing things in providing a platform to communicate information in real time. It has, however, also become a stage for harassment, slander, disinformation and propaganda - all without accountability. Establish accountability

The rights of individuals being subject to harassment, slander, etc are being ignored as social media do not work with legal entities when protecting individual rights. Civil action legal costs are beyond the average person's pocket because the process of taking action against unlawful social media activity is complicated. Simplify the process. This is not a breach of anonymity. Visible profile names can be different and not reflect the details of the actual user.

Your petition refers to having "registration" in the background of a social media user's profile, but it's not clear what you mean by "registration".
