Anonymous Trolls

The biggest mistake that all the social media applications make is permitting their users to post anonymously. Yes, the people posting anonymously have their first amendment right of freedom of speech, but the people should be obligated to disclose their names. If a person is going to troll someone online, then the person being trolled should at least know the other person's name. The social media applications can also have people monitoring what people post or comment 24/7. This would prevent people from starting to troll and discourage the people that are already trolling. Well the social media applications cannot set restrictions on what people say because that would violate people's rights. What they can do is delete a comment or a post once they have probable cause. This would limit the impact trolls would have on other people's lives, sort of like an Internet police. I might have to start a company based off these ideas. I have no idea how I would start this Internet police thing. I am pretty sure that I would have to get permission from the real police. Let me know if any of you guys are interested, I will keep you guys updated.
