Premier League player Yoane Wissa has told CNN that he restricts the amount of time he spends on social media due to amount of abuse soccer stars receive online.
The Brentford FC forward says that while social media platforms can help him communicate with his fans, they can also be a “dangerous” place not only for players but for their extended family. “We have to because it can be dangerous for players, for the confidence, for the families,”Wissa told CNN’s Darren Lewis when asked about how he restricts his time online. “Even my family, I told my mum to not watch everything. “It’s like this, when people get frustrated they just post in that moment.
So that’s why I wanted to talk with him, to stay with him and do something [to be] together.” Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, told CNN that “no one should have to experience racist abuse anywhere, and we don’t want it on our platforms.” A spokesperson added: “Over the last few years, we’ve launched several ways to help protect people from having to experience abuse in the first place, including our Hidden Words feature which filters offensive comments and DMs.
