Hate online: While Katie Polater and Alicia Rousseau talks, Sky SPORTS is backing commitment | Tennis News

Here in Sky Sports, we are clear that we are not tolerated online hate. Hate will not win.

As we said several times before, at Sky Sports, everyone is welcome – it’s a message we are proud to share.

We noticed, as we mentioned earlier this week, British tennis star Katie Polater talks to the BBC about the horrific abuse she receives. We stand with Katie, her colleagues who spoke against abuse and support the demand from platforms and the government that more should be done to protect everything on social media.

We also saw, and also informed Alicia Rousseau, as she is preparing to represent England in the European Championships in Switzerland, talking about How can the reading of social media publications be harmful.

She will move her attention to social media during the competition, but may she really have that?

Sky Sports Russo and Itings support that they should be able to compete in elite championships without being the subject of abuse via the Internet.

Even here again, we mention our position Hate online:

• Sky SPORTS will use her voice to highlight
• We will seek to remove the largest possible number of abusive and abhorrent comments on Skysports.com and our channels on social media platforms as much as possible
• We will prevent users who bring hatred to the sections of our comments on our site and our channels on social media platforms
• We will report hatred and abuse to social media platforms
• We will report the most dangerous cases to the relevant authorities
• We strive to make our channels respectable places where sports conversations are flourishing
• We will continue to assign the press that shines on social injustice and inequality in sport
• We will work with social media platforms and policy makers to make their platforms safer and more respectable

We also need your help …
