Swans social media boycott

[Darran]

The amount of people already talking about only racism is making my blood boil.
The club stated all forms of abuse which I’ve even seen on a forum today.
Some people are just scum.

All credit to the club for getting the ball rolling! Just need to do the same on the pitch.

Well done SCFC.
Let's hope all clubs jump on this, it might just wake up social media companies to be proactive against this sort of behaviour, because it seems they are willing to let folk get away with this type of abuse.
Personally I would like to see all accounts be more transparent, that would stop these idiots. Question is why don't they do it anyway, you sign up, with your name and address, mobile number etc. And the programmers set up systems to either filter or close accounts if abuse is dished out, don't tell me they are not capable of such censorship/action.
This type of abuse has to stop, now.
Hope the club get some positive feedback from social media companies.

Pleased but think it could also be keeping Cooper safe, not from direct abuse but from the honest comments about our hoofball and his capabilities.

Wow. As ill judged comments go that one is right up there with the best of them

The clubs following our lead are gonna feel stupid when they realise we're only doing it to take the heat off Cooper :roll:

Ouch, not one of your best posts to be honest that mate.

Commendable move by the club. Credit to Birmingham and Rangers too.

Oh its nice to see that we are also boycotting social media

Start paying the players less. Then there'd be less abuse.

Twitter and Facebook won't give a sh*t about Swansea boycotting social media, however if the other more prominent clubs also joined in (Liverpool and Man Utd have had plenty of racist abuse to their players too in recent months) then that might make the social media fat cats sit up and take notice.

Nobody’s going to give a sh*t about it.
Nearly all the abuse is through anonymous accounts.

Better to do something though. It’s about stating your principles. Hopefully a few of the knuckle draggers in our fanbase, of which there is hefty number demonstrated the many arguments over the issue on our previous platform, will take note and stop justifying racism by watering it down just because it suits them to say something is not racist. The prejudices run deep and this past year in particular had been a real eye opener.
