Social media users should be verified with real ID, IT professionals say

Lisa Miles
A majority of IT professionals have said social media should require users to verify their identities, in order to combat anonymous racism, homophobia and other abuse online.

But would you stop using social media altogether if you had to verify your identity and couldn't be anonymous in any shape or form?

    Indeed - one has to ask why do they need to know ? I routinely refuse to give my Email to shop assistants as that is not  for my benefit at all.

    The situation is different when you  are typing or creating content for others to view  then the folk who host it for you ought to know who you are - discussion fora and facebook etc come into that category, as well as image sharing sites and so on, which are otherwise too easily misused.
