Rejected petition Hold online trolls accountable for their actions.
BAN such individuals from using social media for life, hold them accountable for their actions. It is not ok to make another person feel so terrible about themselves for their gender, ethnicity, sexuality or simply a opinion that’s different to a trolls.
More details
To many people are ending their lives now days after asking repeatedly for help via police and other services but not being taken seriously because the offences are “online”. Simply blocking trolls online doesn’t work when they can make NEW accounts over and over again. The hurt these people cause doesn’t just stop once your phones down or laptops off. It goes much deeper, it needs STOPPING.
