A petition to make ID a requirement for social media accounts has hit more than 650,000 signatures in the wake of trolls targeting England's Euro 2020 stars.

The petition, however, was first raised by Katie Price and later other celebrities like Love Island and Laura Whitmore supported, calling for personal accounts on social media networks like  Facebook and Twitter to be linked to a verified form of identification.

According to them, this proactive measure, if implemented,  would help to prevent harmful activity across the various platforms and it would also help to provide traceable and reliable identity of a user if an offence is committed.

As at the time of this post, the petition have recorded over 600,000 signatures.

This petition became necessary because some England players like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka were racially abused on social media after missing penalties during the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson then held showdown talks with social media firms yesterday, demanding they 'up their game' over the abuse suffered by the Three Lions stars.
