“In a bid to tackle rising levels of abuse on social media, London’s Metropolitan Police is to set up a five-person team of specialist officers tasked with targeting online trolls. Scotland Yard will spend £1.7 million on the unit, called the Online Hate Crime Hub, which will provide ‘targeted and effective services for victims’, offer advanced intelligence on offenders and strengthen links between police, communities and social media companies like Facebook and Twitter.”
