Summary:

Jack Monroe is filling a case against the Daily Mail communist Katie Hopkins due to her constant abuse online via Twitter tweets etc. 

Statistics:

  • £24,000 damages, in a row over tweets suggesting Monroe approved of defacing a war memorial during an anti-austerity demonstration in Whitehall.
  • Hopkins’ side has been ordered to make an interim payment of £107,000 within 28 days
Own view:

I believe it is quite clear how the online world and platform has been abused for many people in society, even those in higher power are using online resources for their own gain, to destroy their rivals through the views and viral talks they get. Online seems to be more of a platform to harm one another than actually bring forth togetherness within the community/society.
