Influences Blamed for Rise in Abuse of Women
In the News
Just seen on jeremy vine that apparently influences are being based for rise in abuse. They were saying people like Trump and Andrew tate haven't helped with their comments. But then you've police officers like the kne that murdered Sarah Everard that won't help.
There are some influencers who actively encourage misogyny and ill treatment of women. They resent women in highly paid work and are also influenced by terrible pawn images that social media refuse to take down. Boys hardly into teens with developing attitudes are having their minds twisted and are acting out what they see and hear. According to the news today average age of male abusers is now 15 and average age of female victims is 13.
Lynibis this annoys me that social media won't take them down says to me it's run by men that have the same opinion
Jerseydrew Social media is all about advertising revenue and controlling costs. They want you to think they are policing their content but the reality is there is not the staff or budget to do so. That is in no way a defence of such firms more a warning about using such social media. The amount of people now that have the most ridiculous opinions because of social media sites they have visited. They don't use normal news channels but instead watch an influencer's take on the latest news with a lot of strange bias added. They end up with extremely strange opinions that most of us know instantly are untrue and not based on any facts. They demonise regular news channels as corrupt or in the pocket of commercial companies etc and so blur everything and then cherry pick what they want to believe. I've never known a time like it where people are so out of touch with reality.
I'll admit nowadays when I look at even the BBC I realise its not really the news channel it once was. I see a story there and have to look at the figures the numbers to see if it is true. Really that is all that you can do is look at the statistics and numbers because so much news has bias nowadays or presents a opinion without looking at all angles. So even the BBC in my opinion is a very poor news service but social media takes it to a higher level again. So again all you can really do is look at the numbers, the actual facts and just see if their narrative is supported by the real data and often it isn't at all. I've got to the point where I look at both left wing and right wing news sources on the same issue and try and find the real truth in the middle of those two opinions.
Subjects which are contraversial tend to raise anger. This makes for excellent click bait which is good for both the influencers and facebook alike. There should be a way where people can complain and actually taken notice of. Unfortunately I do not see this happening any time soon.
EmmaWright762 sadly not especially if it means that girls and women get abused.it bugs me that social media don't care and take it down
This is why I don't bother with social media and my children are not allowed it, that Andrew Tate is a total 
martinlufc5637 my 13 year old has Snapchat she doesn't use it much. She'd rather watch people on twitch and YouTube
Andrew Tate is a truly horrible human being and unfortunately he has encouraged other men to act and think like him.
Danny Dyer did a programme recently and he spoke to a number of young men that bought into the Andrew Tate ideology. They were all angry young men who thought the world owed them something.
