I don't think social media caused the riots but they did make it easier for people to communicate. I have read a lot of articles about Facebook and the UK riots and although many posted on the open platform apparently it was more the private message facility that was used on their fake profiles. Criminals have been using Facebook for years setting up(and closing) fake accounts, mainly football players, pop stars, cartoon characters, star wars(!) but surely the police must be able to trace the IP addresses. Good luck anyway and I hope the UK government and the police make social media a safer place for tomorrow's children. The law has caught up on them!!
