Offensive, iconoclastic internet trolls will not be prosecuted, says DPP

When the police can't/won't help - who do you turn to?

Something similar happened to a friend of mine recently. A vile individual on Facebook has launched a hateful vendetta saying that he'd have my friend's legs broken, and then, when someone stuck up for him, that samaritan was labelled "a child molester." The police won't do anything, Facebook are uncontactable and have stifled my friend's attempts to clear his name. Some have written the whole thing off as a joke, but say you wanted to apply for a job or wanted to adopt a child, and an internet search threw up "child molester." It wouldn't be so funny then.
