Facebook trolls are not immune under the law.
They might be immune due to the techniques they used, but if so that is an argument against allowing anonymity, which is what lets trolls say what they want with impunity.

Even if they weren't anonymous, they're physically outside of the USA and therefore outside the reach of the US Civil Court system. I think I'd be in favor of a US PKI-based ID issued by the Post Office. Post Office easily verifies addresses of every US Citizen. Whether or not to make online ID's mandatory is... well... a different question. But knowing if someone is a US citizen or not (with verification through simple PKI / certificates) would go a long way. Maybe reviews for US-based items / stores would require a US id for example, to be posted on Amazon. Or, maybe anonymity would be allowed by default, but with a civil court case Amazon would be obligated to disclose the ID of the individual who posted the review.
