Tennis player Sloane Stephens has denounced racism against athletes on the sidelines of the French Open. She is pessimistic about the fight against racism – and also considers the help offered for social media to be inadequate.Software provided by the French Tennis Federation tries to detect and remove racist and other forms of hate speech.
With the help of artificial intelligence, the software filters out offensive comments on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. "I've banned a lot of keywords on Instagram and all these things, but that doesn't stop anyone from just typing in an asterisk," she said.
