It's a petition which Parliament is bound to consider, having passed the magic 100,000-signature threshold.
Petitions like this are usually a waste of time for everyone concerned, but the UK's record on digital rights is pretty dire so there's always a danger. The petition itself is the usual ill-thought-out think-of-the-children kneejerk, damaging and useless. (Besides throwing away the obvious benefits of anonymity, I can't see anything that would prevent UK-based trolls from opening an account via another jurisdiction.)
