realmadrid ✓ - Real Madrid C. F. condemns all types of racist and xenophobic language and behaviour in football, sport and life in general, such as the regrettable and unfortunate comments made against our player O ViniJr in the last few hours. Real Madrid would like to express its affection and support for Vinicius Junior, a player who regards football as an attitude towards life through joy, respect and sportsmanship. Football is the most global sport there is and should be a model of values and coexistence. The club has directed its legal services to take legal action against anyone who makes racist remarks towards our players.

QAnon: What is it and where did it come from?
QAnon is a wide-ranging, unfounded con- spiracy theory that says that President Trump is conducting a secret war against elite Satan- worshipping pedophiles in government, busi- ness and the media. In an interview, Mr. Trump told that he didn't know much about the move- ment, but added that he'd heard that “these were people who love our country.” QAnon believers have speculated that this fight will lead to a day of reckoning where prominent people such as former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be arrested and executed. The movement has faced restrictions from Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram who have taken action against thousands of accounts and web addresses link- ing to videos and websites spreading QAnon's bizarre ideas.
Thousands of Americans believe it. The amount of online traffic to mainstream social networking sites has burst since 2017, and indications are the numbers have gone up further during the coronavirus pandemic. QAnon supporters coordinate abuse of perceived enemies, politicians, celebrities and journalists who they believe are covering up for pedophiles. It's not just threatening messages online. Twitter says it took action against QAnon because of
the potential for “offline harm”.
Dozens of QAnon supporters are running for Congress in November. It's quite likely that a QAnon supporter - or someone sympathetic to the conspiracy theory - will sit in the next US Congress.

According to the text:
Cyberbullying is harassment through electronic means such as telephone text messages, social media such as Facebook and Twitter or online blogs and bulletin boards. In normal bullying, students are given a daily break from the torment as bully and victim each go to their separate homes. But for victims of cyberbullying, there is no reprieve, as the abuse enters into their private lives. In the US, there are at least 44 states that have anti-bullying laws on the books. While only six of them use the actual word “cyberbullying", 31 others have laws that specifically mention “electronic harassment".
Prosecution in the UK is a little more difficult. While all schools are required to have anti-bullying policies in place, cyberbullying itself is not named as a criminal offence. Offenders in the UK would have to be charged under various other laws, including the Protection from Harassment Act of 2003. This makes prosecution much more difficult.
Authorities agree that in order to stop cyberbullying, there has to be parental involvement. Parents need to be vigilant about their children's access to technology. They should monitor their children's use of social media, especially children under the age of 14. Bullies are not going to simply disappear, but parents can go a long way in protecting their children from being bullied. Go! English, ano II, n. 14 (fragmento).
De acordo com o texto, nos Estados Unidos, alguns estados têm leis específicas para assédio via meios eletrônicos. Já no Reino Unido, a instauração de processos contra praticantes de cyberbullying é mais difícil porque
The word “cyberculture” is used in a variety of
ways, often referring to certain cultural products and
practices born of computer and Internet technologies, but
also to specific subcultures that champion
[5] computer-related hobbies, art, and language. In the 1970s,
cyberculture was the exclusive domain of a handful of
technology experts devoted to exchanging and promoting
ideas related to the growing fields of computers and
electronics. But following the commercialization of the
[10] Internet and the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s,
cyberculture took on a new life. In fact, today the Internet
touches many parts of life in advanced industrial societies.
Cyberculture is heralded for breaking down borders
and barriers, not just between nations but also between
[15] groups and individuals separated by physical space or by
political and social conditions. As a result, some would
hold that the Internet fosters a more complex tapestry of
relations than ever existed in the physical world.
However, skeptics warned that the Internet wasn’t
[20] eliminating borders as much as shifting their definition and
location. Instead of physical borders separating one people
from another, these critics contend, the Internet establishes
a border between those who use it and those who do not or
cannot go online. This “digital divide” was of increasing
[25] concern to social activists and policy planners, and to
businesses as well, who see the divide as a stopgap to their
future marketing strategies. This rift grows as cyberculture
becomes a force driving social change, economic relations,
political policy, and cultural life. If cyberculture
[30]increasingly sets the agenda in the dominant culture, those
on the “wrong” side of the digital divide will inevitably
find themselves more and more isolated and alienated from
the societies in which they live.
