An Irish senator has come up with an idea to silence the trolls on the web. Senator Eamonn Coghlan suggested that making people pay to post on social networks or register passport numbers against IP addresses could help cut down on anonymous posting, according to the Irish Examiner. He made the comments to a legislative committee examining the relationship between social media and cyberbullying. A number of recent suicides are linked to cyberbullying. Last April, four Irish students were suspended over harassing teachers on Facebook. Teens at hundreds of schools in the country are barred from taking photos on campus.
