UK Police Arrest 12 Over Facebook Use Inciting Riots

Posted by timothy on from the where-was-prothero-at-the-time? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Scotland Yard vowed to track down and arrest protesters who posted 'really inflammatory, inaccurate' messages on Facebook, but it didn't stop at just two people. While two teenagers were arrested earlier this week in connection with messages posted on Facebook allegedly encouraging people to start rioting, 10 more have now joined them."
