Jeez, what is going on ?
Facebook says the person who racially abused Swansea City's Yan Dhanda has been temporarily blocked from sending Instagram messages - but their account will not be shut down.
Midfielder Dhanda, 22, was abused after Swansea's FA Cup loss to Manchester City on Wednesday.
Facebook says people should have the chance to learn from mistakes.
"We do not want racism and hate on our platforms," a Facebook spokesperson said.
"The person who sent this message has been restricted from sending messages on Instagram for a set period of time, and we will remove new accounts created to get around this restriction.
"We think it's important people have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes but, per the new measures put in place this week, if they continue to break our rules this account will be removed."
Dhanda, who is of British Asian background, was sent a racist message on Instagram - which is owned by Facebook - after playing 77 minutes of Manchester City's 3-1 cup victory at the Liberty Stadium.
The matter was reported to South Wales Police, who are continuing their investigations. |  |

Pathetically weak from Facebook. They may as well have done nothing. |  | | |

Enabling the offence springs to mind.
However, criminally he wont get away with it I’m sure.
