× A BOROUGH-WIDE campaign which aims to stamp out online abuse was launched this week in the hope that it can make social media a more friendly place - and to help curb ‘vile’ comments made about councillors.
The No Place For Hate campaign was formally approved at last week’s cabinet meeting after a six-month planning process.
It hopes highlight online abuse and hate comments in the attempt to eradicate hate speech from social media platforms.
The idea was championed following a series of reports made by Barnsley Council employees who revealed the abuse they had received online.
Most notably is former mayor, Coun Pauline Markham, when she was physically assaulted and had her car’s tyres slashed following her work campaigning against off-road bikers.
