The Gorse Fox finds it appalling that abuse has been directed at the three young lads who failed to score their penalties last night. Not so much over their failure to score, but over the colour of their skin. This is ridiculous and exposes a nasty underclass of racist thugs who inhabit the social media platforms. Interestingly, some of these were clearly launched from abroad, and some seem to be troll-bots.
It is high time the social media platforms took responsibility for their platforms and had investigators who can find the identities of their users and pass them on to the authorities when required. The cowardice of Facebook and Twitter is a lesson on how their greed completely overrides their moral responsibility.
The Gorse Fox thinks that enough is enough and it now time to legislate that they are publishers and are responsible for the content on their platforms.
