Japan sets up '24/7' task force to combat online abuse during Milan Cortina Winter Olympics

The Japanese Olympic Committee has set up a special task force to monitor and deal with online abuse round the clock during the Milan Cortina Winter Games. The move comes after several athletes at the Paris Summer Olympics in 2024 endured a barrage of insults on social media. The situation became so bad that the JOC released a statement during those Games, asking for people to think before they posted and adding that it would consider reporting excessive content to the police or taking legal action.
