Four Day Social Media boycott
Huge boycott by sports players of social media against these companies doing little or nothing to combat horrendous abuse of players.
From Formula 1 to Cycling and Football, Rugby Cricket to Horse Racing - the boycott is across the board. I will also boycott - but to be honest - this is easy for me as I hardly use FB at all and none of the others. But other more regular users may want to join the boycott. |

Ironic that most of them use social media to promote themselves?

No problem for me to join in - never used social media, and have no desire to do so. I have a life!

So it would seem that you're both regular users Of course, I'm being a little pedantic, and I think most of us would probably accept a looser definition that restricts it to Facebook; Twitter; and the like. Just couldn't resist Cliff

I think I heard on the news earlier a footballer from a small team I think is giving up football due to unpleasantness

I was really pleased to see that the new Apple I-Phone has a feature that can block all tracking content from the likes of Facebook and other social media sites, and that 80% of potential purchasers said they would enable the facility. A certain Mr. M. Zuckerberg has thrown a hissy fit as it will also bring into public scrutiny the modus operandi of social media sites and how they generate their vast incomes.
