Absolutely it's social media. Anonymous messages, easy to send - and then you've got pure wind-up merchants joining in too. Russians and Israelis just stirring ****. 80% of posts directed at the England team and deemed criminal in the wake of the Euro 2020 final came outside Britain for example
Social media should be burned. Except foot of course:)
(Slightly related, but cheating in online chess is a significant issue, way out of proportion with cheating in real games. It's a mix of relative anonymity, cheating being much easier online, plus not being able to see your opponent, which really depersonalises things and makes it easier to be a *****)

I got so angry at the Internet one time, I printed it all out and burned it in the garden. Sure, by the time I got back in the house they had it back online. Waste of firelighters.
