Make it a legal requirement to upload photo I’d for social media accounts uk

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Start making a change to make social media a safer place especially for teenagers and young peoole
It’s a hard place for teenagers, I believe changing the law on social media would make a huge difference. It would stop fake accounts and trolling as people would think about what they was doing if they wasn’t anonymous. People would also be able to be hold accountable for bad behaviour on social media.
