I think people got the wrong idea with what she was trying to say
She was basically saying that if they left it would force the media companies hand to make some changes because of the clout they had
Easily misconstrued to sound like "they should come off to avoid abuse"... Still wrong in any case. It shouldn't need people leaving the platform for them to do something.

It really is institutionalised.
I see what she's getting at but it's a poorly posed question.
If she'd said all footballers rather than black ones, then maybe it wouldn't have come across quite so badly and the point would remain the same.
If everyone came off Twitter it would go out of business and do the world a large favour in the process.
Governments need to sort these issues. Social media is a "cancer" on our society as it's being used at the moment. It's not just social media though, there are lot of other aspects of social media and smart phone culture generally that are a huge problem. I consider myself on the libertarian side but Twitter especially is equatable to something like opium / heroin in my view and needs government control.
Yes it is now completely out of control and largely unchecked because this is the internet, it's not like out on the street where anything you say or do is more easily captured.
The problem is finding a balance between stopping it from happening outright and maintaining the freedoms we take advantage of.
At the end of last season i was paying £1 a month for Sky Sports Mobile on NowTV, you can't go wrong at that. I cancelled at the end of last season and never got this offer back again, so wish i kept it going now.
I keep trying to find this offer (or similar again), i missed one at Christmas £4 for 4 months.

You cancelled a £1 a month contract for Sky Sports?
I did yes, it was just Sky Premier League. at the end of last season and no football for 3 months, i thought i'd get the offer back when the season started, i never did, If i kept it on i probably would have kept getting it for £1.
I won''t make that mistake again, I'm currently paying about £2 a month for Sky Cinema and all Sky's library of movies, i don't watch it all that much (watch NetFlix more), but for £2 a month its not worth being without.
I don't really get the issue if she's been asked to talk about that point? Assume it's something people are asking in public and has filtered into Sky's points for discussion - which doesn't mean it's a good idea - but makes for debate. I actually think that is the solution though, not that minorities leave social media but that the human race as a whole bins it off because it's long term negative effects are so profound.
I’m a bit late to the IPTV party but I finally got around to getting a fire stick set up around Christmas. £50 for the year with all sports and movies Netflix/prime content tv shows etc It’s amazing value and there’s no issues at all with playback beyond exiting and reloading the odd episode of a show if it crashes. The live stuff is perfect. The novelty wears off pretty fast but it’s perfect for all this hanging out at home.
sky sports by itself is a bit of a rip off at this stage

You only stood to save 3 quid!
Feel like a nob for asking but I'm assuming this is illegal? If so, where did you find this for £50? I'm in a Whatsapp group and a fella offered some IPTV sticks but was charging £100 a pop.
Frugal!
That'll get him a half a pint of something decent once the pubs are back open. Result!It's usually £50 fer a subscription and you install it onto a fire stick, or they'll sell you a firestick set up for around £100.
Either way, compared to forking out for both sky and bt for football it's a no brainer.
well you need to buy the fire stick so £100 all in seems about right if everything is included. If you want more info Pm me and I can point you in the same direction my friend pointed me. He does some installation work for Sky so he knows his stuff
Indeed. I took her question as an attempt to create a jumping off point for Morrison to talk about the subject, rather than a suggestion that anyone should come off of Twitter.
My radar might not be totally on point about this issue I'll admit, I'd be interested to know how Morrison took it.
Same, took an IPTV subscription out in November because of the PPV’s for 3 months it’s payed for itself already.
I have just subscribed again today for a year this time round but it’s cost me £71 for a year, good service though and only buffers the odd time plenty of movies in it too.
Don't buy a firestick that's pre-installed. They're normally run by people that don't understand the resources used.
You're much better off buying a firestick yourself and shopping around for a good provider.
Surely to be getting these types of offers you must actually be Marcus Rashford.
Is the zero broken on your laptop?
Don't pay for any firesticks/IPTV etc, everything they provide is freely available and easily accessed online. If you can read then you can set it up yourself, don't pay some dude a oner to copy and paste a few files onto a stick.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Are you talking about the likes of Reddit streams? Because they are nowhere near as reliable as a dedicated iptv service.
I want to get an iptv service I am just really afraid of being ripped off and don't know where to look
Could have viruses as well.
I remember getting a link from someone here that was flagged as malicious by my anti virus.
Sky Sports Mobile month pass are £5.99 as standard. But you can only watch on a mobile device so not really worth it unless you watch on your phone.Is the zero broken on your laptop?
The good ones will have a group chat on the likes of WhatsApp and Telegram. Of course that doesn't mean they won't get shut down eventually but it's a bit of piece of mind that they'll always be online to help with any issues.

Really good. Hopefully Bt do something similar.

I've successfully used twitter to meet and seduce a string of increasingly ropey women over these past 10 years.
I frown upon your government control suggestion.
What if you chromecast it to the TV?
I would guess they have blocked that.
I remember going into a tech shop asking to hook up my tablet to the tv and the guy, in fairness to him, said it would be blocked.
If you know your way around rooting and coding, you may be able to unblock it.
Crap. Guess I'm never getting Sky sports. Way too damn expensive.
I would get the mobile app and just buy the biggest screen size mobile that there is. 7 a month is much better than 72 a month.
Sky really should just have a premier league only package for ten to 15 euros a month.
and discord
I'd pay that.
You can’t. Same as Virgin or BT app.
Yea and then fiver a month for the champions league.
Know plenty of people burnt by the Kodi sticks and boxes, never heard of anyone being robbed by a free river. Lots of the satellite cardsharers moved to IPTV and they were shady as shit. I'm sure there's some good ones out there but it's really not that hard to find decent free sources.
Out of interest what are people paying for their IPTV subs?
