Whether it is the trolls who are prosecuted or the social media platforms, racism, hate, bullying etc needs to stop NOW! A legislation in parliament needs to be passed that states, social media platforms, need to make it mandatory that users have to provide a passport ID or national security numbers in order to create profiles, this will then help bring justice to all victims.
