SkyBet Director Eliminating Hateful Content


Tackling hatred & digital abuse throughout social media platforms has proved challenging. Facebook to SkySports has confirmed their commitment towards eliminating disruptive content, with international politics continuously becoming weakened through hateful political parties.

SkySports announced that their subsidiary sportsbook is committing towards the elimination of hated & online abuse on their betting platforms. SkyBet will implement new measures that ensure millions of users can be banned if hateful speech is uttered, or online abuse is directed towards a fellow bettor. These are similar protocols that’ve been placed by SkySports, the parent company for SkyBet. Hateful comments & digital abuse regarding the following content will justify a permanent ban from SkyBet.

  • Race
  • Gender
  • Disability
  • Religion
  • Age
  • Economic Class
  • Nationality

Commitments guaranteed by SkyBet & SkySports include using their prominence in Great Britain to highlight the damage inflicted with hateful or abusive content. Whenever monitors for SkyBet or SkySports see postings regarding that content, they’ll be removed & digital warnings will be issued to that account. Two warnings prompted the immediate termination of that individual’s account while blocking their social media channels via IP Address.

SkySports & SkyBet have also commissioned a journalistic program that focuses on social injustices while educating readers on inequality in professional sports. SkySports has promised to work alongside legislators & social media influencers/platforms to create a safer environment that’s tolerant of respecting.

Mark Alford Promises Defensive Tools Against Hatred

The SkySports News & Digital Publishing Director, Mark Alford, targeted the growing minority that engages with digital platforms to increase the level of hatred in European society. Mark Alford declared that these actions must stop and that corporations worldwide must step-up against those spreading abusive hate. Mark Alford reflected that largescale social media platforms have technologies & tools available to them that eliminate offensive content.

Similar to Facebook, most social media applications have reluctantly agreed to destroy abusive content. Their excuse is that all users are permitted freedom of speech. SkySports & SkyBet believe that until hatred is tackled, societal problems will continue rising throughout the European Union to the United States of America. There’ll be a tipping point where solving societal problems will become impossible, similar to climate change.
