PFA slams Twitter for not taking down abusive posts

The Hindu  

Twitter's response to abuse directed at football players on its platform has been absolutely unacceptable, the Professional Footballers' Association said ahead of a four-day social media blackout to highlight the problem. England's soccer bodies are set to boycott social media from 3 p.m. local time on Friday to 11.59 p.m. on Monday May 3 in response to continued online racist abuse of players, with the campaign also receiving backing from a host of other sporting bodies, including UEFA and FIFA. READ: The PFA also said it had provided Twitter with a list of another 18 tweets that included targeted, extreme, racist abuse directed at players, with 15 of them still live. "While the platforms repeatedly stress that they are doing all they can to combat online abuse, extreme racist abuse remains visible on Twitter five months after we provided them with clear evidence of abusive content.
