Petition Ban Digital Anonymity
More details
Online aliases are the virtual equivalent of wearing a face mask and hoodie in the real world. Digital anonymity is a disguise used to perpetrate serious criminal acts and online bullying.
If your online and texting behaviour is appropriate you don’t need an alias!
