Brighton took down 100 abusive messages on social media

Brighton & Hove Albion have taken out around 100 oppressive messages posted by users on the club's social media channels as a component of a restriction on online scorn.

The

Premier League

side has likewise kept in touch with local news sources with comment sections and fan sites that give messageboards, requesting assistance on the subject. 

A week ago, English football parties met up to send an open letter to Facebook and Twitter requesting supervision in the midst of expanded degrees of maltreating towards footballers and authorities via social media. 

The Premier League, FA, EFL, WSL, Women's Championship, PFA, LMA, PGMOL, and Kick It Out have all co-marked the letter to Twitter CEO

Jack Dorsey

and Facebook originator, administrator, and CEO

Mark Zuckerberg

, asking them "for reasons of basic human decency" to utilize the force of their frameworks to end the molestations. 

In an announcement, Brighton president and deputy chief Paul Barber evoked the supporters that the club will not tolerate such an abusive attitude.

"Football has always been a game of opinions, and we want healthy debate and, where it's due, constructive criticism - provided it's reasonable and respectful," Barber said.

"So, this is not about the club being averse to online criticism from our supporters. People are perfectly entitled to views that differ from the club. Historically, Albion fans have always done that with good grace and humour.

"But views that are abusive, discriminatory, hateful, or bullying in any way are not acceptable.

"For context, last week alone around 100 abusive posts were removed, and users blocked and reported, for content they posted to the club's own official channels; while some of the emails that have come into the club across the season have also fallen foul of the rules.

"Thankfully, most of the abuse we see doesn't come from our supporters, but that won't stop us from taking action.

"And there are those rare instances where our own followers fall foul of the rules and overstep the mark. Those individuals have paid the consequences, facing club sanctions and police action."
