Popular Hollywood actor, Idris Elba has advised social media companies to make it compulsory for users to identify themselves properly before they can create an account to reduce the number of trolls on social media.

According to him, a lot of faceless people hide behind anonymous accounts to make derogatory statements which they get away with.

Mr. Elba opined that there should be a way to confirm someone's identity on all social media platforms just like how celebrities have verified accounts.

"If cowards want to spout racial rhetoric then say it with your name, not your username," the actor said.
