@itvnews: Fifa scanned 6 million posts during the World Cup group stage and found 89,000 aimed at players were abusive, 13 times more than the last World Cup. Racist abuse was the single biggest type. To protect players, Fifa uses a service that scans their accounts and automatically hides abusive comments before they even see them. But Fifa says that even with a bigger tournament and better detection factored in, racist abuse online is genuinely getting worse. #fifa #worldcup #onlineabuse #football
