British Actor, Idris Elba, Dares Social Media Bullies To Troll With True Identity

British actor, Idris Elba has published a statement on his Instagram platform to confront the issue of cyberbullying.

In the post, the thespian admonished trolls to desist from using ‘faceless’ troll accounts to drag other social media users and celebrities online.

Elba urged social media companies to block troll accounts that do not have real names or hide behind “catfish” accounts to damage the self-esteem and confidence of other people.

He added that the way celebrities are verified on social media, there should be a way for account users to make their real identity known so everyone knows who is speaking.

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

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
