Thierry Henry social media in March and revealed his decision was down to the lack of accountability Twitter and Instagram to stem racist and abusive me sages from anonymous followers.The 43-year-old, who was recently manager of Montreal Impact, vowed not to return until the people in power regulate the platform.He felt social media has become toxic because its too easy for ill-meaning people to bully and hara s.Thierry Henry says racism on social media has become "too toxic to ignore". BBC Sport (@BBCSport) His move has had a minor knock-on effect with Scottish Premiership side Rangers and Championship duo Swansea City and Birmingham City similar boycotts to their social media, coupled with many Premier League managers a more widespread boycott, but leaving the Zack Wheeler Jersey platform does nothing to stop racist abuse.What is the problem?Abuse on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is out of control, but this specific i sue is that black and mixed-race footballers are being attacked on account of their race during and after matches by anonymous accounts.Liverpool pair Trent Alexander-Arnold and Naby Keita have been subjected to racist abuse on social media platform Instagram Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) Not only are players being targeted with racial slurs, theyre now on the receiving end of monkey emojis.Denigrating black and brown people by comparing them to anything simian has been a dehumanising tactic for half a millennia, but Twitter has said it doesnt specifically Michael Conforto Jersey break the rules on racism.The perpetrators are mostly anonymous accounts with fake email addre ses too, so theyre not always easy for police to track down if they cant get an IP code.Whats really strange is that Twitter does screech into action when it comes to copyright content of football games.Many have had their accounts suspended for sharing clips of a match, but the social media giant doesnt seem to take racism as seriously.Whats been the reaction?There has been strong condemnation in the media and among pundits, but talk does very little on its own.We know its bad that players are being abused and the problem isnt being fixed by social media platforms, so its time for action.All at insert club condemn the vile, abhorrent, cowardly and plain racist abuse of insert player on insert social media platform during last nights game.Its all too familiar, isn't it?But we cannot let it become acceptable.We are disgusted.Enough. Is. Enough. Reading FC (@ReadingFC) Most who are on the end of abuse are still kneeling for Black Lives Matter before games, so they must be feeling very despondent.Wilfried Zaha certainly is, as he feels the gesture has lost all meaning without implemented change, and Twitters slowne s to take this seriously is frustrating.Every gameweek we hear about players being racially abused and the perpetrators are rarely punished.It seems strange that a social media platform can exist but the account holder of New York Mets Jersey an offensive tweet cant be found, so many are understandably losing their patience.What ideas have been floated so far?Identification is one route some people believe will solve the problem, but theyre ignoring the fact that many accounts need anonymity for their own safety and shouldnt be forced into giving up their sensitive details for a free social media site.https://twitter.com/dsharp4811/status/1376151132507140096?s=20The idea makes some sense because a lot of racist abuse comes from anonymous accounts, so forcing people into revealing their true identity could correct their behaviour.But this move would punish anonymous accounts that arent breaching Twitters terms and services.Boycotting is the other idea being suggested a typical go-to when making a stand against something, but its only effective when large numbers join in. Only a couple of football clubs in the country are going silent, so Twitter isnt really going to feel any pre sure to change from that.And people leaving the platform doesnt fix the problem, it only stops them being directly abused. It doesnt stop somebody tweeting about that person in an abusive way, so this isnt an idea with legs. What is the ultimate solution Wilson Ramos Jersey ?Cleansing the platform property by updating the community guidelines. Twitter et al need to addre s the reaction from some accounts during matches and after theyve finished, as thats when a lot of abuse occurs.Tweets could be instantly deleted if they contain certain words and the account would have to contact the social media platform to appeal for the tweet to stay up.There could Mike Piazza Jersey be a flagging system where tweets arent visible or are masked with a warning of bad and offensive language instead too.Ensuring that the victims can use social media without needing to see toxic abuse in their replies and mentions is the goal, so making it more difficult to send such abuse and then cloaking me sages that get through is a start.And on the subject of identification, people do need to be held accountable for their actions, meaning Twitter needs a way of finding the account holder if theyre anonymous and have fallen foul of their community guidelines.This could mean people might need more than just an email addre s to have an account but those details arent made visible to other users and are only unearthed by the platform if a police investigation is launched.A lot of people use Twitter for their jobs, to speak with friends, to keep up to date on news and to share their opinions to the ma ses. They shouldnt have to leave because the company is failing victims.
