Niall Horan is fed up of the way people talk to each other online and pleaded with his loyal Twitter followers to “be kind”.
Niall Horan is encouraging his fans to “be nice to everyone” after feeling shocked at the language people use toward each other on social media.
Taking to his platform of 39.3 million followers, the One Direction star wrote: “The way people talk to each other online is disgusting. There’s no way you would ever say half of the stuff you do to someone’s face. Bravery behind the buttons of a phone. It’s a real shame as half the time, you don’t know the person you are talking to. Would anyone agree?”

Niall then reminded his followers they don’t know him “just because he gets papped going for coffee”.
The singer finished his rant: “I even see it when I come online . Because i go on stage, get seen on tv, get papped going for a coffee or whatever . People feel like they know you know and they just don’t. Just be nice to everyone and the world will be a much better place and social media is a good start.”
