The Government needs to start coming down hard on social media platforms, to change how racism is dealt with. To change their policies and create a more strategic method for new accounts so individuals that inflict racial abuse are not allowed to be able to get on social media platforms to do this
More details
To often Individuals especially within the spotlight such as footballers etc are continuously abused for their skin colour because they failed to make a pass or win a game. Human beings are suffering racial abuse constantly. What we are doing within the world is not enough. Social media is a driving force for everything within this day and age. Social Media companies HAVE to take some responsibility and if they do not deal with it they should be fined or worse. We have to make change !!!!!!
