Will trolls still stop if anonymity rights away taken away?

Anonymity is given to us in online situations for personal reason like hiding identity for example. By staying anonymous in a chat room or scrolling through social media anonymity has now recently been twisted and used for others cruel enjoyment of causing peoples misery in online communities. These sadist take full enjoyment in trolling the online world and making it hard for individuals to cope with. Many people who speak on this current situation of cyberbullying related to trolling, want to take action but how can we effectively take action?  We have ideas such as taking away anonymity rights but will that truly stop trolls from trolling individuals?

  1. I agree with you! Online trolls are getting out of hand, to the point were it's hard to control and put a stop them, even if you block or report the trolls. If they are dedicated enough to continue to troll you they would make multiple accounts just to harass you.Those who want to help put a stop should help and respond to trolls, it makes the person being attack not feel alone. I don't think that you should take away anonymity rights just to stop individual trolling. There are more people out there who use being anonymous for good. And it's the only way that they may feel comfortable sharing their views.
