Social media giants must do more to stop online-abuse
Channel: London Assembly

The Assembly remembers with great sadness the tragic death of another Londoner, Caroline Flack, who lived and died in the public eye.
 
No-one, whether a politician, a reality TV host, or an ordinary member of the public, deserves to receive multiple, anonymous hate-filled or angry social media posts and comments.
 
Today, the London Assembly called on the Mayor to lobby the Government to persuade social media giants to ban all anonymous accounts, as these fuel people’s feeling of impunity, freeing them to be abusive online.
