Social Media Boycott Tomorrow

[@owlstalk]

Are you joining in and boycotting social media for the day?

 

(ps there should be no judgement either way on what people choose to do)

Will feel very strange if we do go down this weekend and there is next to nothing on social media about it.

Is this Social Media ?

It will give the chairman time to make the excuses seem plausible.

To raise awareness that the big social media companies need to do more to tackle racism and abuse on their platforms

Would it not be better to do it on a day when there is, you know, actual football on?

Thats probably the point as it will have more impact I guess.

Thought it was just sports clubs doing the boycott, not seen anything asking individual people to join in with it.

The big platforms that silence conservative views wanting to champion equality and diversity. Not for me thanks. 

[The Wall]

Boycotting it for the foreseeable.

love to know how you will stop morons abuse? bet there having a party knowing they have upset people and having a social media blackout . 1-2 years ago nobody heard about online abuse etc now its rife ,if you give no coverage to there sick bile they disappear under there rock . its a bit like the playground at school a bully gets enjoyment out of abusing someone if they show there upset these are the same types what post garbage ,unfortunately whatever you do they will find a way around it to continue there abuse. in a court of law its very difficult even to get a guilty verdict for serious crimes ie rape so how even if the ip address was tracked can you 100% prove that it was that person in a house of 6 who posted say disgusting stuff?

Would love to see Owlstalk follow the lead of the clubs. 

 

I've seen plenty of questionable stuff around race on here. 

 

Might make Saturday afternoon a bit more uplifting too.

The boycott this weekend is designed to highlight the problem and bring more attention to it

I haven't? We don't tolerate racist stuff on here - we have ZERO tolerance to that as anyone who knows me/the site knows

We haven't had any reports recently - did you report anything you saw?
