GOP rivals try to cancel Nikki Haley over social media proposal

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley backtracked Wednesday after her proposal to require social media platforms to verify users' identities appeared to touch a third rail of right-wing politics.

Citing national security concerns, Haley told multiple outlets on Tuesday that she thought social platforms should be required to verify all their users by name, because countries like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea use anonymous accounts to sow chaos and division in U.S. politics.
