    On the issue of free speech, I quite like what FB have done recently with the covid denial stuff. Where people have posted links to debunked covid claims, FB have referenced it with a fact checked article. It then gives the 'viewer' a counter to the post and the info to decide for themselves.

    I've no idea how the tech works behind that, but it's pretty clever.

    Evans requested all charges be dropped. I'm afraid although you may have authority on the Spurs board, when it comes to the law PNP's view means shhite. <laugh>

    If he’s using the word Scottish as a pejorative term as opposed to merely a descriptor (which he clearly is in that context) then I think you’ll find it is.

    I recorded that Jamie Carragher groan in the City game and put it on my spurs Instagram account for my daughter's to see it.
    I set it up a couple of years ago...it has mainly photos I have taken from games. The account somehow has about 200 followers.

    Sky complained about my 15 second post (**** knows how they found it) and Instagram banned my account for a week. <laugh>

    Yet the ****s continue to allow ****ers to post racist/homophones/misogynist hate and claim they are powerless to act.

    Scottish isn't a race. It's xenophobic, which is probably included under the offence, which I can't be bothered to look up.

    So clearly the tech is there to drill down into individual accounts.

    I've received warnings for recording seconds of a match it breaches copyright or whatever. But fair point.

    The police and the CPS have agreed the following definition for identifying and flagging hate crimes:

    "Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person's disability or perceived disability; race or perceived race; or religion or perceived religion; or sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation or transgender identity or perceived transgender identity."

    There is no legal definition of hostility so we use the everyday understanding of the word which includes ill-will, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment and dislike
