At what point will Twitter make everyone verify their identity for an account?

Looking through my timeline, every single time I dig into a sports topic, you have the anonymous Twitter accounts that people behind to post whatever they want.

Ole Miss has their fair share, but I will say that Mississippi State has a ton of these guys. I don't get trolled into looking at their stuff on other boards, but it's hard to dodge it when almost every single Ole Miss-related tweet has them salivating under the replies to get in a dig.

To me, Twitter should require one to disclose their first and last name before creating an account. It isn't some private board where members pay for that privilege. It's a social media network where the majority of news breaks and people are allowed to stretch the boundaries of slander and libel under a random moniker, avatar, and description.

Just my opinion.
