I confirm that I am within the Leinster House complex. I apologise that I missed some of the meeting. I was speaking in the Dáil. The issue I am about to raise may already have been covered.

When I was verifying my Twitter account, I had to go through the verification process. When I was seeking to verify my official Facebook account, I had to provide my passport and other information. Why is that not a standard requirement for all users? Certainly, the vast majority of the abuse I have received online over the years has been from anonymous accounts. There is a mechanism in place to remove anonymous accounts. Why is that not being done?
