    Good to speak to @danroan today on concerns about the abuse players are facing online and what we’re going to do about it I believe social media companies want to act, but it’s time to step up the response @BBCSporthttps://twitter.com/danroan/status/1357049994272980993 …

        Yes, it's essential to tackle abuse but also to look at the design of the platforms that encourages, or fails to limit, such behaviour. We suggest some proportionate responses @InternetClean

        I don’t see what’s so hard. Surely social media companies can enforce verification with an address and bank card to remove anonymity and the problem would massively reduce and make it easy to punish the idiots?

        In this particular case, words are cheap. The time for regulation is way overdue.
