Social Media Use/Twitter

Not unless you can link a name on Twitter with an account at the club…hoping two people don’t share a name.

 

The whole thing smacks of bullshit to me.

It is true though someone has been banned

Do enough digging on someone's social media and it can become quite easy to find someone's personal details without breaking laws.

Go on then, we'll start with the owner and probably the most high profile person on twitter, elon musk. What's his address?

 

3500 Deer Creek Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304    to save you the bother...

Elon currently lives in a three-bedroom house in Boca Chica, Tex. Elon said that he purchased the home primarily because of its proximity to his SpaceX facility.

 

 

Musk’s current primary home is located in Boca Chica. It’s a $50,oo0 foldable prefabricated house made by Boxabl, a housing startup company. Elon reveals in a tweet that living there is quite awesome.

The transportable house is a 20 x 20 unit and 400 square feet. Its set-up is like a studio apartment and features a fully equipped bathroom, living room, kitchen, and bedroom

 

 

 

If I had more time I could probably google map it

We are owned by people who come from quite an authoritarian state where criticism of the ruling elite is a punishable offence.
 

I’m surprised this type of behaviour has taken this long to creep into the club. Its no coincidence these crack downs and rule changes have started happening since Top seen that banner a criticising the board and did not look happy at all a few months ago.

Yesterday there were a few concerning comments made on Twitter by a number of Leicester fans who had been banned from the games for voicing their opinions on social media. (Some saying they’d been banned for 10 matches by the club) 

 

These accounts speculate that there’s a company employed by the club to hunt down people in a sense who voice their opinions about the club, and then issue banning orders. 
 

Some accounts also have now gone to private for their own protection, but this is in a sense a limitation of Freedom Of Speech. What is the difference between this and talking about Leicester down the pub? Debate about football is why we love the game so much.

 

It’s been claimed that these tweets in question were not even offensive towards players, and were general comments about the state of decline.

 

We might also have to worry about Foxestalk too and our opinions on here. Might be time to change a few usernames etc. 

 

Be careful people. 

I work in social media, and let me tell you - it's very easy to track down what people are saying on social media, but it's not necessarily that easy to match them up to real life people. I could pull you a list of people making public posts about the club on Twitter or on here in about 10 minutes, but I wouldn't be able to match most of them up with ticket buyers/real life customers (and there's a case to make that the club are breaching GDPR by doing this).

 

The people who've been banned probably had email addresses in their Twitter account bios, or have their social accounts linked to their ticket buying profiles etc - if they're doing more than that, then it's very shady indeed.

Not for just making some anodyne comment about Rodgers or the board/Top though.

[Koke]

Share the tweets. 

[Koke]

I once got banned by twitter for calling Alvaro Morata a donkey. It was deemed as abusive language. If that's the threshold for banning people for social media comments, then it's quite plausible these lads were banned for voicing their opinion but using profanity

 

Edit: I didn't even tag Morata or anybody.

I'd like to read the actual tweet... If it even exists. 

 

It seems a long shot that the club are using an agent to screen comments and then scrutinise them.. Seems an utter waste of time and money.

It’s a ‘season ban’ that ends at the end of this season.

 

My friend has to go to a meeting at the end of the season for them to assess whether they deem him suitable to renew.

 

It’s absolutely laughable. 
 

It was literally a reply to a joke, that was also a joke.
 

The club nor any employees were tagged in the thread. 

 

I can’t say too much more as no doubt the club monitor here too, but in my friend’s case it really is nonsense. 
 

He will be appealing.

 

Not sure on the others.

So basically the club get to decide what warrants punishment or ban?

 

No external audit/investigation 

 

For something said on a website hosted in a foreign country and not necessarily illegal

My opinion is that City deserve to be relegated for this "big brother" application of attitude, they need to quickly review their levels of what is and what isn't acceptable. Football has been a means of "venting ones spleen" as long as I can remember and I've been a City supporter for 66 years.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Think we need to see some evidence here.

 

Firstly the offending posts.

 

Then communication from the club.

 

I'd be both amazed and not surprised if this is true when you consider what else is going on in the country.

[Heskey2011]

Can Russian bots even get tickets? 

Seanfromenderby and Co aren't a massive loss are they?

because twitter moderation is basically just an automated "has this been reported a lot or not". I got the same for tweeting "Cry more" in reply to Luis Suarez when he was having a strop about cheating refs knocking them out of the world cup

The posts have been deleted and people are rightly wary of resharing them in public as it could also lead to a punishment for themselves. Its very very murky water.

Has anyone on here been banned by the club? I assume they tell you why you've been banned.

Someone I know got banned for the rest of the season for calling the ticket collection scheme a f***ing disgrace to the ticket staff at an away game.

 

Obviously not great on his part but seems a bit of an extreme punishment for a first offence if you ask me. 

[Bert]

It’s crazy how our club is being run, policed at the minute. Too many people there have got a bit to power crazy and think they can do what they want. I’m glad I’m no longer on twitter. 
 

[Wymsey]

Imagine if the club monitored this forum..

 

Seriously, is the club good in dealing with such complaints about being heavy-handled etc.?

It's ever since covid, it's given power to the people who didn't pay attention at school.

Don't believe it myself. For a start you can't actually pinpoint  a person via an ip address, you can't even find out what street they're on or what their phone number is if they're on a mobile due to privacy laws which i very much doubt the club would have broken just to deny access to the ground, so unless someone has their name, address, phone number, a photo of their season ticket and birth certificate in their bio on twitter, this sounds like bullshit. Add that to the fact that a persons mrs might be a cov fan and used the account to slag the club off.  This sounds more like certain fans getting bans for causing trouble in the kop and then coming out with some bullshit to stir the brown stuff.

Organisations have customer management systems which allow them to link social media accounts to customers etc. Enables efficient responses/resolutions when said customer approaches said organisation via that account.

 

If someone has dm'd a company on twitter then their twitter handle will be linked to their customer profile.

 

As for monitoring of social media, yes enables orgs to monitor how they are doing/interaction positive/negative. This may also focus on social media profiles which are linked to customer profiles. This is automated. I don't know the full details, it was a while since i looked at it.

 

So yes, it is plausible. Are the club using such systems? I would be surprised if they were not. 

 

I haven't seen the tweet in question, but theres nothing stopping the person in question sticking in a subject access request to the club to see what they are/have been monitoring.

“Did you get that? 66 years, he said. And he’s in Norwich. One more vital clue and we can pack up and go home.”

What was the joke? 

 

And what was the reply? You don't have to mention who it is obvs, but surely we need context here? Ft are the arbiters of society so we need to decide how bad the club decision is here
