What spoils social media is the tiny minority of people who go out of
their way to be obnoxious.

Same as on these groups then. I think you do have more tools to only read
who you trust on social media. One of the issues though with all mass social
media is that you can peddle untruths and present them as facts, and hence
those using it as news sources only get news that agrees with their views
and never sees an alternate point of view. Its a more blinkered approach
than left and right wing press or broadcasters in my view as its hard to
avoid being affected as people spend so long on the sites. I don't do social
media, not of the mass kind for these reasons. I prefer to have an open
mind.

Many people go on social media for adulation, but when the opposite
occurs, they get upset and go into mental stress.

I wonder if "Angry of Tunbridge Wells" realises he is using "social
media" when he writes to The Times?

When someone is called a black cunt, they should treat as an elevation to
something useful.

That seems a bit extreme. He was describing a scenario not abusing
anyone specific.

Either someone has been taking substances or a bot has been triggered by
something.

He was describing a fairly specific example of derogatory racism, and
then implying that it should be treated as a compliment; that is
certainly racist in and of itself.

You may decide it's worth reporting him to someone, but his newsadmin is
not that someone, just marks you out as a netcop.

Ultimately newsadmin, or his employer through him, are legally
responsible for what appears on their servers. So, if newsadmin does
nothing, and I or anyone else escalates the matter to the police,
newsadmin has his collar felt and has to do something anyway, and also
potentially might face some sort of legal consequences, so it would be
better for newsadmin to do something to prevent abuse of his/their
servers in the first place, which they should be doing anyway.

You're assuming he's posting from work.

>nothing, and I or anyone else escalates the matter to the police,

I'm sure the police will drop all those real crimes they're trying to solve
and go nick someone who used a word you don't like on a 40 year old social
media system they've never heard of and care even less about. Once they've
spent thousands of quid in man hours tracking him down of course.

You're a deluded fuck. Shove your wokery up you arse old man and go bother
the other coffin dodgers down the bowls club which is what you should be doing
at your age.

I'm assuming nothing of the sort.

They investigate hate crime on social media of any type.

Abuse to cover up a lack of rational argument. Stay in after school and
write out 1000 times: "When I abuse people because I have nothing
better to say, no-one is fooled!"

It would probably take those clowns a month to figure out how to even read
usenet.

Yet again you are speaking from a position of ignorance, as others have
said, don't bank on it.
