Police: Social Media
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much each police force spent on monitoring social media in each of the last ten years.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Police forces do not routinely monitor social media but will investigate allegations of suspected criminal activity committed on social media platforms that are brought to their attention.
The Home Office does not hold information on how much police forces in England and Wales spend on monitoring social media.
