Spanish judge calls for end to social media anonymity in hate crime cases

Comments come after wave of false claims online about suspect in killing of 11-year-old boy

A Spanish judge has called for an end to social media anonymity in the wake of a wave of online disinformation after the killing of an 11-year-old boy.

Miguel Angel Aguilar, a judge from the court that handles hate crimes and discrimination, wants to oblige platforms to reveal users' true identity in cases of suspected hate crime so the law can impose digital restraining orders.
