Outrage has erupted over Twitter's handling of a racist post targeting Arsenal and England footballer Bukayo Saka, which reportedly did not violate the platform's safety policies because it 'doesn't break policies'. The Sun and other media outlets highlighted the controversy, noting the platform's failure to address what many see as clear racism. The incident has prompted responses from various quarters, including Arsenal, who are seeking to identify the perpetrator, and the police, who have initiated an investigation. Tracey Crouch and the Football Association (FA) have also pressed Twitter over their failure to recognize blatant racism. The case has drawn attention to the broader issue of how social media platforms manage racist content, especially concerning public figures.
