David Cohen’s Guide to Prevent Abuse on Social Media
Guide for Athletes
There are many different ways a student athlete can deal with cyberbullying
Do not overreact or underreact- It is easy to respond to the online abuser, this will most likely lead to more abuse from the person. Instead, resist the urge to respond and ignore the perpetrator.
e.g Kevin Durant responds to haters on twitter
Block the online abuser- By blocking the perpetrator, the online Abuser can no longer send you messages, and you will no longer see the account. This is a very good route.
Colts Management blocks haters at the source
Do not allow accounts of people you do not know or feel comfortable around follow you- By doing this, you are removing negativity from your timeline and denying abusers the chance to contact you.
Set account to private- By setting your account to private, only people and accounts that you trust are able to see your information, stopping Abuse on the spot.
Report malicious accounts- By reporting malicious accounts, the social media platform will examine the account and potentially ban the abuser from using the platform.
Your work on social media is outstanding. This post, however, is pretty basic. It’s drastically improved thanks to the addition of examples. However, you still could have written more details about those examples and how they reinforce the point you’re making. As you keep “creating” think about audience and tone. Make this yours, make your voice/brand unique!
