What I don't get is why Twitter and FB are so reluctant to sort it?Hopefully, this will send a message to the social media companies to get involved, because that is the only way to stop online abuse.

It is only a matter of time until a rival provider to Twitter and others sets up, where verified details are required to register, and that becomes default site for high profile people to post at.

It's quite simple, social media platforms model is based on volume of trafficObviously some people post some horrific things but my worry is censorship is a slippery slope , it could lead to control of the internet . Perhaps filters could be an option with a delay of post from input to going live & individual companies can survey alerts . I’m sure bots could do this
