The Home Office are set to launch a historic legal case against Twitter and Instagram after accusing them of actively preventing online abusers of footballers from being prosecuted.
Bournemouth are the latest club, Sportsmail can reveal, to be infuriated by the apparent unwillingness of social media companies to provide information.
The club’s outrage concerns two shocking cases of racist and Islamophobic abuse directed at players Junior Stanislas and Arnaut Danjuma respectively.
The club are angry that their request for information, via Dorset Police, about an account used to abuse Stanislas in January was rejected by Twitter.
