KUALA LUMPUR: Social media platforms are being blamed for the spread of misinformation that has sparked weeks of violent riots in various cities across Britain.

Cooper said"social media companies need to take some responsibility’’ and that"police would be pursuing online criminality”, adding that this misinformation had encouraged violence. In fact, The Mirror reported that the teenager’s father is a Christian and his mother, a housewife,"were struggling to make a go of things here’’ and that the"family was heavily involved with the local church.”Many of these people who had spread toxic misinformation, as well as sent announcements on meeting points, often shared this information in anonymity. One even used Facebook to inform his followers to attack a hotel housing migrants.

It is one thing to allow free-for-all expression because we fear governments would stop dissent if social media were too regulated, but as we debate over this, cyberbullies, scammers, online gaming casinos and sex predators are roaming freely. According to the Financial Times, it was designed to protect users of social online services, including social media platforms.
