We noted, as we reported earlier this week, British Tennis Star Katie Boulter Speaking Out to the BBC About The Horrific Abuse She Receives. We stand with katie, her colleagues who spoke out against the abuse and support the request from platforms and government that more should be to protect all on social media.

We saw, and reported too, alessia russo, as she prepares to reproduction engine in the European championships in switzerland, talk about How Damaging Reading Social Media Posts can be.

She will turn off her attention to social media during the competition, but should she really have to?
