Allan is supporting the social media boycott spanning this weekend’s Premier League fixtures – and hopes the move goes some way towards scrubbing out the “stain of abuse and discrimination” blighting multiple platforms.
Every top-flight and Football League club shut down its social media accounts at 3pm on Friday and will remain silent until 11.59pm on Monday.
The bodies governing cricket, rugby union and tennis in this country are joining football in a united stance aimed at combating the increasing prevalence of online hate.
Everton midfielder Allan is in line to feature in a crucial Premier League meeting with Aston Villa on Saturday.
On a football note, he is convinced his team can finish the season “with a flourish” after gathering impetus from beating Arsenal last week.
But whatever the outcome at Goodison Park this weekend, Allan will monitor how companies overseeing accounts respond to the social media switch-off.
“I think it is a fantastic attitude from the Premier League and all the teams,” said Allan.
“All us players can follow this example.
“This abuse shouldn’t exist but there are people who go online to spread hate and anger.
“There needs to be more protection from the people representing social media companies.
“There need to be stricter rules and measures to put an end to this discrimination and prejudice.
“Not just in football but in life.
“Social media is important in a lot of what we do but this abuse and discrimination is a stain on it and it needs to end.”
Everton can make it five Premier League matches unbeaten when they face Villa.
The win at Arsenal eight days ago followed three straight draws and, admits Allan, provided a shot in the arm for a busy run-in.
Carlo Ancleotti’s side have won 10 away games but positive results at home have been fewer and farther between.
Returning to Goodison this weekend, then, Allan is urging his team to play without inhibitions.
“We could have picked up more points at home but that is not something for us to get hung up about," said Allan.
“We will put it out of our minds and think about the next game. We know it’s in our hands to get a European place in these last six games.
“We can’t reach the end of the season and start thinking about what might have been and lamenting our position.
“We have a quality team and know what we can do.
"We need to bring everything on Saturday, not only to win but to put in a good performance to fill us with confidence for the remaining games.”
If Allan is refusing to dwell on points surrendered at Goodison, he's similarly refusing to go over the top about ending the Club's 25-year wait to win at Arsenal.
All that matters for the South American, who is set for his 18th Premier League start following a transfer from Napoli last summer, is what’s at hand.
“Arsenal is in the past, we have to think about Villa and be mentally and physically confident, to get three more points to move us up the league,” said Allan.
“I am really happy with my first season but it is not finished.
“We can really finish with a flourish.
“I can do so much more in these last six games, more than I have before.
“I am preparing very well and concentrating to be prepared for this end to the season.”
Allan concedes the hamstring injury which ruled him out for 11 weeks around the turn of the year stunted progress in his debut season.
But he’s played enough in the Premier League to identify how it contrasts from Italy’s Serie A, where he had eight years with Udinese and Napoli.
"Here, the game is so intense... the bottom team will attack the team at the top," said Allan.
"In Italy, not so much, the team at the bottom will be very respectful and defend, it will be more of a tactical game.
"Here, every team is very strong and looking to win all the games.
"I have had a great learning experience and I want to continue contributing to Everton and doing really well in future seasons."
