In an interview with Sky News, the diver says "it's important that everybody, especially minorities, come together because it won't just be one group that gets targeted".
Even as someone who has grown up in the public eye, Tom Daley has vulnerabilities and concerns to finally reveal.
The five-time Olympic medallist has an even greater perspective as the British diver who first competed at the Games aged 14 in 2008, who is now retired and a father of two.
Having grown up in the public eye when social media was still in its infancy, Daley is deeply troubled by the toxicity online, especially for someone with an opinion.
"When social media came to prevalence - and cancel culture and people not being allowed to make any mistakes or be able to share too many opinions - it can be very scary and intimidating for certain groups of people.
"I think it definitely pits lots of people against each other and I think we always have to remember that we're all in this together at the end of the day.
And the 31-year-old has spoken out from a young age - from LGBTQ+ rights to bullying and mental health - but he is ready to go further now.
"There's lots of things I think we'll look back on this last five, 10 years of human history as being quite shocking in a way," Daley said in an interview with Sky News.
