Actor Sonam Kapoor wondered if Twitter has ‘become too toxic’ after model and television personality Chrissy Teigen announced her decision to quit the platform on Wednesday night, citing negativity. Sonam suggested that ID proofs be made mandatory while creating social media accounts to combat the menace of anonymous trolling.
Sonam shared an excerpt from Chrissy’s tweets: “My life goal is to make people happy. The pain I feel when I don’t is too much for me.” She then asked, “Has Twitter become too toxic? @Twitter @TwitterIndia @jack.”
Giving a suggestion to reduce negativity on Twitter, Sonam added, “Should we all quit Twitter? I’m not very active but I get my news through it. But there is no accountability on the social media platform. Opening social media accounts should be like opening any other accounts in the real world. You should need an ID proof.”
