Thierry Henry says social media companies make 'money through hate' as he launches online campaign
CNN
Thierry Henry has accused social media companies of making "money through hate" and says they are still not doing enough to fight online abuse on their platforms.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona forward has been boycotting all social media platforms since the end of March following a spate of online racist abuse aimed at Black footballers and what he said was the inability of social media companies to hold users accountable for their actions.
His decision prompted a wave of high-profile stars to follow suit, which ultimately led to a widespread social media blackout in the UK from footballers and governing bodies across the weekend of April 30 to May 3.
