@AliceWerr [name pseudonymized] [164]: @SteveBakerHW "emoting" is no damn good. He should present the number of Twitter abuse cases which was a fraction of 1% among the 500,000 positive remarks.

Context: #NMUSNBCNewsOliviaSolon "The U.K. was 'by far' the largest country of origin for abusive, racist tweets sent to England's soccer players last month after the team lost the European Championship final to Italy, Twitter said Tuesday.
Twitter also said that 99 percent of accounts suspended for sending racist abuse during the tournament were not anonymous, so the type of ID verification called for by some British politicians would have been 'unlikely to prevent the abuse from happening.'
Twitter's findings contradict post-tournament comments by England manager Gareth Southgate, who said that a lot of the abuse, which targeted Black players including Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho, came from outside the U.K." https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/british-accounts-sent-bulk-racist-abuse-during-euro-2020-final-n1276432 #OrgUKFootballAssociationFA / #2020_UEFAEuropeanFootballChampionshipEuro2020 #OrgUKFootballAssociationFAGarethSouthgate #IndivSportspersonMarcusRashford #IndivSportspersonBukayoSaka #IndivSportspersonJadonSancho
