Are regulations in place for social media platforms to crackdown on racism?
If it’s at all possible I would like the Government/Parliament to check the regulations/procedures imposed by these social media platforms towards racism online. It is getting out of hand especially towards sports athletes, the remarks they are receiving online is absolutely disgusting.
The main purpose of this petition is due to racism on social media platforms towards athletes in particular football players. This is not the first time and I don’t think it will be the last. The racist tweets and posts is absolutely disgusting behaviour, these athletes should be praised for there hard work and dedication, racism needs to be kicked out and we have to start with social media as that is where athletes sadly get targeted. I am hoping we can stand together and kick racism out!
