Campaigners have demanded action to finally stop online racists after another Premier League footballer faced horrendous abuse.
Spurs star Son Heung-min faced “utterly reprehensible online racist abuse” after the match against the West Ham on Sunday in which he scored the winning goal. It happened just a week after Brentford forward Ivan Toney was targeted following their game against Arsenal.
Now Kick It Out has demanded more to be done to ban vile comments being posted online and get quicker at removing offensive content. They also want the government’s proposed new Online Safety bill to be able to give the police and the Crown Prosecution Service much easier and more powerful ways to crack down on offenders.
