A politics student has spoken of his anxiety after a vile Twitter troll stole his identity.
Tony Anderson, 27, who is studying in Glasgow but lived in Edinburgh prior to his studies, has said that the whole ordeal has caused him a lot of stress. The young man, who grew up in care and is an advocate for others from the same background, has been left baffled as to why someone would want to pretend to be him.
He was alerted to the issue after a lecturer friend from his university asked him if he had another Twitter account because someone had been commenting with his name and picture on his tweets. He says he has reported the profile and is awaiting a response from Twitter.
