Majority of the online racism is coming from overseas

Experts in the field of online abuse point to the problem of fake accounts, while an online threat and intelligence specialist said there is a potential risk of a strategic, targeted campaign designed to damage the United Kingdom's social cohesion and reputation.

Twitter and Instagram have declined to discuss the location of those accounts they have banned in relation to the fallout from Sunday's Euro 2020 final

But data from previous monitoring by various bodies indicates that many attacks come from outside the UK.

The Premier League's data from their monitoring of abuse against players has shown that around 70% of cases involve abuse coming from social media users outside of the United Kingdom, a league source told Reuters on Tuesday.
