Are you saying, then that providing it's possible to hit 'ignore' that online racial abuse is acceptable? No one is saying its acceptable. Merely saying if its having a impact on your mental health that maybe best your not on it because of its toxicity and poor accountability/penalties for the trolls/bullies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they win. Regulation is the only answer. Hell we have Mods on here and we all accept it as a necessity (hi mods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked a footballer on a pitch couldn’t just hit the ignore button to turn it off. They could stick their fingers in their ears and go “La La La La” though, which is basically the equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as easy as just walking away from that. It's a shame the social media companies have no real interest in moderating their platforms. She probably makes the majority of her money from social media related stuff. But yeah, when people abuse her she should just switch it off and forget about those earning like we all would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Essentially you need to ‘vote with your feet’ and only use social media companies that have effective anti bullying policies. At the moment that would mean leaving the likes of Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that just leaves learning to live with it because social media companies aren’t going to do anything about it for now. And talking about social media abuse has been going on for years and still nothings been done about it so that would indict things likely won’t change for the foreseeable future.

foreveryoung Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I love her to bits and Dougie. But if your gonna post you life on Instagram, mostly in a bikini, including your private holiday photos with your partner, it ain't all gonna be positive vibes. It's a bit idealistic to think all your gonna get is likes and positive comments. If you showed your old skool holiday photos to randoms in the street, do you think they would all say how nice you look and how lucky you are. The negatives come with social media theses day, it ain't gonna change any time soon, so either put up or get off it, simples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directly messaging someone telling them you plan to kill them isn’t a joke, whatever medium it is delivered over. Track the word removed and send him to prison or fine the living daylights out of him. Create some accountability. Google are able to sniff my arsehole in the morning and record everything I say and do on a small device in my kitchen in the name of marketing - if these social media companies gave a flying **** they could track a cocwomble in his bedroom in Taipei down with ease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I've had actual" Villa Fans " ( And others ) on Facebook and Instagram message me things like " You black word removed " for things as simple as not agreeing on a player performance, in the past. When I've got time, I usually troll the shite back out of them until they give up, or I ignore them. If you take alot of shite on social media seriously you ll go nuts or fall into severe depression. Social Media is a blessing and a curse, in the modern world it's not so easy to just " not be on social media ". As someone above noted, even for athletes a social media presence is necessary and can be quite lucrative. The majority of cretins who do things like this are usually desperate for attention or have mental issues themselves. You can often figure out what you're dealing with by having a look at their profile picture and profile.

Some serious scum out there. I still don’t get why anybody would troll Lehman. I guess haters gonna hate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
