A Question.
If you were aware of intimidating posts, hate posts etc being made against a named family and this was continuing week after week.
What would you do?
And if you chose to do nothing, how would you feel if one of these posters did carry out their threats.
I know of a young girl who hanged herself because of continuing social media intimidation.
Surely you should:
a) contact the social media platform and point out someone is breaking it's rules ( if they are)
b) consult lawyers if you think someone is committing libel ( but you have to be the alleged victim to do this)
b) contact police if you believe someone is committing the crimes of harassment or stalking. ( with evidence )
c) not take it upon yourself to contact the media about one particular individual and encourage them to single that person out before the police have investigated that person.
Or maybe I would ignore the posts as they were someones opinion and not threats against someone. It's called freedom of speech. You mention threats, where did Brenda ever make a threat?
From Sky news "she had tweeted or retweeted 2,210 posts, of which 424 mentioned the McCanns. Her tweets did not constitute a criminal offence, the inquest heard. ''
The people who compiled the dossier took it upon themselves to define what is acceptable or not for individuals to say and then in contacting the press engaged in harassing an individual, which is something they were supposedly against!
