Re the Federal Government's proposed new rules to expose online trolls

Have I got this right? The Federal Government wants to force social media sites to identify all their users so that someone who abuses others on-line can be identified and potentially taken to court.

Is giving a social media site lots of identifying data a good idea? Many people already give quite a lot away, but to force everyone to be positively identified to the social media sites seems to be a very bad thing to do.

Social media sites must be quietly rubbing their hands with glee - all that high-quality personal data they can quietly sift through.

Or am I just being paranoid?
