Online abuse prompts commissioners to give up Facebook

Bride Commissioners say they're giving up Facebook after online abuse.

At a meeting in September, the local authority discussed a faulty defibrillator which needed a battery ordered from the UK.

But they said they were aware of a social media post about the issue as well as abuse and threats over it.

As a result, the board decided unanimously to "not use Facebook as a communication portal going forward".
