Recommendation
While we heard that there is insufficient evidence to determine that anonymity is the main driver of abusive behaviour online, we recognise that a proportion of abusive content comes from anonymous users. Giving users the option to filter out content from accounts that have not provided a form of identity verification, on a voluntary basis, would offer an extra tool that users can use to give themselves an additional layer of protection from abusive content.
