Exclusive: Thierry Henry on football's social media boycott
In a tweet at the time of the arrest in February, Chelsea FC wrote: “We welcome today’s arrest which shows that hateful messages shared on social media do have consequences.
“We continue to work closely with the police to support their investigations on this important issue.”
Back in April, the world of English football united in a social media boycott to protest the ongoing racist abuse aimed at footballers online.
In a joint statement, a group of English governing bodies said the boycott hoped to “emphasise that social media companies must do more to eradicate online hate.”
