Opinions differ on whether people should be able to post anonymously online. Louisa Dellert believes that most users would behave better if they had to use their real names. Hannes Ley also notes that fake accounts produce a lot more hate. However, Dr. Christoph Hebbecker says people should be allowed to have anonymous exchanges online. He says those who break the law should be prosecuted, without restricting those who follow the rules.

Counseling services are a real help, according to Louisa Dellert. She forwards toxic posts to the organisation "hateaid.org" but says there are still far too few regional services to provide advice and support.
