There’s a lot of it atm probably because they are bored. Until your identity is recorded by SM platforms then it will continue, it’s up to the platforms to make them less anon and account more accountable for their posts. Even education isn’t going to resolve it unless this is done. The kids doing it IRL wouldn’t be like this, wouldn’t hold these views but turn in to something else when they can say something without any implications coming their way. Take that mask of secrecy from them and the government imposing greater consequences for racial abuse in the online world and then it drops and where an education drive might be successful. Guess I’m saying you need both for this to work. I can't believe kids under 16 are allowed SM profiles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always a knobhead shouting freedom of speech like it gives them the right to be a cunt for the sake of it. It would however mean that people as likeable as Tom Werner and Joel Glazer have complete control over what can and can’t be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to breach the terms of service to receive a ban. However, as long as one stays on the right side of the law, then there’s usually no threat of further punishment. You signed up, got banned and slipped away all anonymously. With the option of anonymity removed, everybody would be held “publicly accountable” for what they say. And when I say publicly accountable, I mean that they would be subject to artificially designed public pressure. Public outrage is controlled and manipulated to serve power. Always. Social movements can be broken down into three types: 1. Genuine grassroots movements which are then co-opted by the system for their own ends. 2. Genuine grassroots movements which the system works tirelessly to suppress. 3. Astroturfed movements, set up by the system to look like grassroots movements. In other words, there is no room for dissent on social media or media in general. Any social movement which has media momentum was either set up by the system to serve the system or has been co-opted by it. ID registration just makes everything easier to manage.

Happinesstan Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Football is going to boycott it's biggest marketing tool. For a weekend. Good for them. I love the fact MOTD announced it just before our game, with Lineker adding "and other people involved in the game" Edited April 25, 2021 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ID registration doesn’t stop social movement, in fact it could help as you don’t get the bots signed up to try and steer public opinion. That has more sway than any genuine movement which if worthy will pick up traction and spread anyway. You’d not have brexit for example, trump probably wouldn’t have won the presidency. World events which changed the current landscape for generations. It’s time for the world to stop hiding behind their digital mask and show themselves. We’ve abused the privilege for far too long. Let’s see who they are and see if their rabid opinions and bullshit still flies. My guess is not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm probably way off the mark, but just going back to that Jim Beglin quote, does this mean things like, "Gaelic flair" when it comes to describing an exciting French footballer, "typical German efficiency" when it comes to describing a well drilled Germany performance, etc are also now frowned upon?
