Twitter detects those responsible for racial abuse at Euro 2020 final

Published

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.”

Biden urges calm after election upset

U.S. President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to “bring down the temperature” after Donald Trump’s stunning return to the presidency.

Speaking to Democrats shaken by Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat, Biden urged, “Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable.”

He praised the election as proof of America’s strong and trustworthy electoral system, stressing that it remains “honest, fair, and transparent.”

Biden extended an invitation to President-elect Trump to meet at the White House—a gesture Trump himself had not extended in 2020.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team confirms he plans to meet with Biden soon, as he begins building his leadership team.

Some Democrats say Biden, now 81, may have hurt Harris’ chances by initially seeking re-election, only dropping his bid after a difficult TV debate in July.
