  Not before time either, plenty of evidence that those who are easily led believe the hate messages and commit criminal acts.

  "There were 23 Facebook pages, 74 Facebook accounts, five groups and 35 Instagram accounts taken down."
  
  I would have thought that 74 accounts was way to low considering how some people have several accounts, surely there are more troublemakers.
  
  I have never understood the need for more than one FB account unless someone is running a business and wants a separate one for private use.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Or in the case of one of our noted local rabble rousers who has 3 accounts so when she gets suspended there are always 2 others to utilise.

  Three would be my optimum number, one for personal use one for business use, and one for junk (signing up to comps. Newsletters, coffee shops or supermarkets etc...) though personally I can't be arsed with it so have none.
