Dunno what happen here but looks like nobody got hurt, take care and say no to racism my beloved.

 
So what are the social media giants going to do about this?

Deactivate the account? That all? When will the authorities punish the platforms for letting this go on?

I find it funny (well, not really funny actually) that Parler, another social media webiste, was pretty much deplatformed for "egregious content" but sites like Twitter and Facebook get away with it even when they have proven to be far worse and far more damaging to society. I hate both Twitter and Facebook, they are hateful places where the negatives far outweigh the positives. If they were to both disappear now, the world would be much better off.

 
The media has given prominent coverage to Marcus Rashford getting racial absue online (Lineker mentioned it on MotD), but I've not seen any mention of the Reece James incident. I appreciate Rashford has a massively greater profile than Reece, but they are both England internationals, and I'd have thought it was a big story.

Probably just as well, as the media would no doubt have insinuated that it was a Chelsea fan who abused Reece while making no such insinuation with regard to ManU fans.

 
That letter made the 6.30 bulletin on 5 live, so the BBC are not now ignoring it, as they seemed to be till RA got involved.

Ive thought about this a bit. Certain words should be banned, certainly on public forums. Limits on who can send messages to verified accounts, automatic bans for certain words being used. There will be a data science team that can build a system that automatically understands when racism is happening and automatically IP block.

But I only hear nonsense solutions from authorities who don't understand what tech companies can and can't do.

Unfortunately until the platform owners are made to have more responsibility nothing will happen. Apparently because Facebook and Twitter arent classed as "publications" but just social media platforms theres very little regulations covering them historically. There needs to be a concerted effort by governments worldwide to get a grip on this whole thing and reclassify the platforms, giving them more power and oversight. Its sickening that in a modern world thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of vermin are allowed to throw disgraceful abuse at people with almost 100% anonymity. 

 
On most applications these days you need to provide an email contact and verify using that email.

So just a little surprised certain platforms cannot identify abusers.

Surely authorities should step in with fines and threatening of closure unless certain verification of user steps are taken. 

 
Social media have no incentive to regulate look how long they allowed Trump, Kate Hopkins and the likes to continue unchecked under the guise of free speech. 

Any traffic means more money from advertisers, the more outlandish it is the more traffic gets generated. 

Users can be identified however it takes time and money.

So I don't see social media companies being in any hurry to make changes which affect their revenue.

Emails can easily be anonymous unfortunately. 

 
Never even heard abiout this until today. Why was Reece getting racially abused? It's never acceptable under any circumstances, but Reece has been one of our better players. I would like to know who those people are behind their anonymous profiles. They are such gutless twerps. I remember when Curtis Woodhouse (ex footballer and boxer) was being abused online, along with his kids and wife, by an internet troll. He managed to find the guy's address and phone number. Drove all the way to the guy's road and called him up. The guy lost his bottle entirely and was begging for forgiveness, saying he was sorry and it was only a "joke" etc. These trolls are pathetic. Be warned, you may think you are totally anonymous, but there are ways to find out who you are. Pick on the wrong person and they may not be as forgiving as some.
