6:29Now PlayingIdris Elba took to social media to explain that celebrities have to have a blue check mark to verify it is them, and regular people should have to do this as well.
Elba believes doing this would cut down on social media trolls putting nonsense and negative comments on people pages. Since people have the ability to hide behind monikers writing these comments, it can become damaging to people’s mental health.
Damon Idris made an argument about social media not banning racial and derogatory comments that are hurting people of color. Idris wonders why social media will censor false comments about COVID-19 and ban nudity but the same isn’t done for racist comments on social media sites.
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
