I’ve reported people on Twitter, who seem to be reasonably good at shutting down accounts that post blatantly racist or sexist material, but they do not make it particularly easy to do so, as you have to send them the urls of several tweets, plus the categories of “offensive behaviour” they provide are not very helpful. Facebook on the other hand is dreadful for trying to get them to close accounts, although maybe that will change now FB have been told by governments that they must do more to police their content. We shall see!

I had a quick look at their profile and was shocked at the racism and sexist tweets he had been putting out. I have a feeling they wouldn’t be so brave if they were away from their computer.
When social media is used for good it is really, really good….This past week showed it when it remembered Kate. x
