    If you wanted to know why I despise twitter, just read the comments on their announcement tweet. It's full of plastic fans moaning that they won't know the team line up for Saturday without the club posting on social media.

    Whilst social media has certainly enhanced the way we follow our club, it also brings out the worst in society.

    I think it is a fantastic idea and sends a message to not only fans but the media companies themselves. Would love to see us do the same!

    I'd love to see every club join together and shut social media out of the entire Greed League and EFL for a week. THAT would be a message.

    Much prefer a football blackout for a week on social media. But it doesn't really matter if people aren't punished and held accountable for what they post.

    What's everyone's thoughts on maybe having a centralised agency that you have to upload ID to in order to access social media platforms? Would nip 99% of this in the bud?

    I think it has to be done. There just has to be accountability for what you say and do online, the same as in real life.

    I feel like the tech companies in the Bay Area are deliberately dragging their feet on this because with any decrease in regular users, comes a decrease in reach, which results in a decrease in advertising and commercial revenue, and ultimately leads to the share price dropping.

    These are some of the most intelligent minds in tech and they can't find a way to hold personal data, hold people accountable, and at least ban certain words from being posted. Appreciate they'll be all kinds of challenges if you introduced anything like a swear filter but that doesn't mean that a hack team couldn't solve that problem if they focused on nothing else for six weeks.

    I do not blame them one bit and thinks it’s a great idea. However, there has to be recourse for the keyboard warriors who would never say anything like they do on Twitter to the individuals face. People should only be allowed to register on Twitter if they use their own name, no one should be allowed to hide behind anonymity and dish out vile abuse.

    I agree it isn't in their interest like you say, it would affect their revenue. That's why i suggested an external agency really that the tech companies could fund too so it isnt coming out of taxpayer money.

    People can get around filters as they do on here, and people would just post offensive pictures etc to bypass too. I think it needs to be done independent of the likes of facebook so they arent controlling peoples passports etc, but it would solve a lot of issues. You have to do it for banks etc, so why not for social media?

    It would potentially solve this plus bots, catfishing/ fraud, allsorts... in one fell swoop.

    did you see the tweet that forced Ivan Toney to quit social media? I'll be honest, I was expecting to see something different. what I saw, was a barely readable tweet, from someone who obviously created a new account specifically just to send it. the intended racism was actually lost on me initially, as it took me about 5 attempts to string the sentence together. genuinely baffled by it. was posted twice as well. almost bot-like. thoroughly weird.

    Something to do with "gay football club" and a bunch of monkey and banana emojis?

    I'm not saying all racists are thick, but the vast majority appear to be. I suppose judging someone by the colour of their skin is pretty stupid in itself.

    Why is it difficult for people to refrain from being abusive,racist and homophobic on social media platforms?

    Between the Premier League, EFL, FA, PFA or whoever, there is more than enough resource to create a shared platform for clubs to post generic updates, live match updates and for players to post their reactions, with fans being allowed to comment with the registration they've used to buy season tickets / match tickets. Would mean any abuse would be a lot quicker to deal with, and fans that want to follow can do so without entering the cesspit that Twitter has become.

    If the sport wanted to make a real stand, they would plan to build such a platform, and give the social media companies a deadline to sort themselves out or they'll launch their own competition to them. Losing 91 clubs and their fans would make Twitter / Instagram / Facebook take notice. Other sports would probably piggy back onto it as well.

    Twitter seems a horrible place.

    I dont use it as i have never felt the need to.

    If people are able to become anonymous on this platform then twitter has to be made accountable for what is written.

    I would have no issues with using my real name on here and I would be quite happy to do so, but I don’t sit behind my keyboard spouting racist and personal abuse. Plus have you ever been to Gosport? Hopefully you get the irony :D

    It appears too easy for the nandathols to get away with crap like that, good on Swansea though, fair play
