Online hate is far too common as people hide behind their keyboards and Dean Clifford is sadly well accustomed to receiving cruel comments online.The Australian was born with a rare health condition known as Epidermolysis Bullosa which causes persistent blisters, tears or wounds on the skin, and it is often fatal before the age of 30.Dean’s parents were told that he was likely to die before he even reached five but now aged 46, he has become an ambassador and public speaker, while also travelling the world and ensuring that his condition doesn’t stop him from living his life.e was doing exactly that recently, sharing a picture of him and his mother at the Suncorp Stadium in Australia, where he watched the Dolphins beat Melbourne Storm in a Rugby League fixture.

However, an innocent selfie quickly went viral because of Clifford’s looks, especially after Meta’s AI programme cruelly described him as being in a ‘zombie costume’.After receiving a tirade of abuse online, the inspirational lad has spoken out to criticise anyone who hides behind a computer screen before sending insults.On Instagram, he wrote: “ATTENTION TROLLS & KEYBOARD WARRIORS”Who would have thought posting a fun photo at a football game with my mum on Friday night would result in so many trolls finding the way my skin looks as something they can try to make fun of. Thanks Facebook #METAAI for sharing my photo without my consent and tagging my the way I look the way you did. It just goes to highlight what why Facebook is quickly becoming completely irrelevant in real life.
