Manager Tottenham Hotspur Ange Postecoglou wants the authorities to “give examples of” anonymous internet trolls who are guilty of subjection of players, managers and referee to terrible threats and abuse.
Premier League Judge Michael Oliver was placed under police protection After a huge return reaction arising from his decision to send Arsenal Myles Lewis-Skelly Against Wolves He considered a serious feature game to fight. An automatic ban with three games that the 18-year-old was to serve was later abolished by an appeal.
Significant abuse and threats for Oliver Online, on social media platforms such as X and Instagram, unfortunately they are nothing new, and players often target dissatisfied supporters who are able to send messages anonymously without fear of consequences.
In an interview with the media, Postecoglou, who faced a wave of criticism TottenhamThe constant running of a bad shape, insisted that there are some “pretty simple things” that can be done to start fighting abuse online, starting with removing the ability to take away a person’s identity.
“What can we do with that? Well, there are some pretty simple things about it, which is the punishment of people who are perpetrators and give them examples,” ” Postecoglou said.
“Unfortunately, the anonymity of the technology world today means that people can hide and allow courage that you would never have if they put something on their face and name, so the cowards are to start. But if you find out, you are ashamed, shame them, put them outside and We will see if anyone else will follow the suit afterwards.
Postecoglou added that the laws were set before the Day of Social Media to prevent individuals to be targeted in this way, with the problem now seemingly out of control because society accepts the dangers of modern technology.
He continued: “But there should be no tolerance for anyone, whether it is a judge, a player or anyone else. I think it’s been without a hand for a long time and we have been accepting too much as part of society.
“We never accepted it before the social media that someone said something like that and we knew who said or wrote. There were laws that made it almost impossible to do so. But now, because they are hiding behind this robe of anonymity, The Kukavica has a voice. “
