In the wake of the Euro 2020 final, Twitter has found that UK residents were largely responsible for the racial abuse directed at three of Britain’s football players

Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho were attacked on social media after missing in the penalty shootout to Italy and losing the match as a result.

Twitter has since released data showing where the racial abuse largely came from, saying UK residents were responsible for the majority of it.

The social media giant removed almost 2,000 tweets in the 24 hours following the match citing a violation of its policies.

Police also arrested 11 people for sending racially motivated messages after England’s loss.

Although the abuse came from all parts of the globe, Twitter says “it is important to acknowledge the UK was – by far – the largest country of origin for the abusive tweets we removed.”

Twitter has recently implemented a brand new range of A-I designed to immediately identify and remove racist tweets.

The company says they are also moving to “test a new product feature that temporarily autoblocks accounts using harmful language.”
