The correct procedure is to report the user to the social media platform involved and to the police if necessary. Sky News and Brunt had no business doing what they did, it was a cowardly thing to do just to create a story. It is very noticeable that they don't approach hard criminals in the street but soft targets like pensioners.
At the risk of fuelling one sceptics erroneous notion that I have knowledge of the dossier contents, I will add my thoughts..
Perhaps individual threats etc had been reported to the social media platforms.
Perhaps individual threats etc had been reported to the police.
The threats continue even to this day, and perhaps the people who compiled the dossier felt that if many of these posts were detailed and given to the police, some form of caution would be given.
As previously stated, I see no wrong in presenting evidence of concern to the media.
And as previously stated the presentation of this evidence is outwith the control of those who were involved in the compilation of the dossier.
Can anyone answer my question?
I genuinely don't know that if a member of the public is stopped by a TV crew and asked questions which cause unease, can that person ask or demand that the footage be not shown.
