disorder. that was the prime minister- _ two arrests and a heavy police presence in barnsley yesterday. but widespread riots expected on wednesday night never materialised. antiracism protesters instead thronged to the streets, chanting their support for refugees. government sources insist it's too early to tell whether a corner has been turned. ministers and police chiefs were tight lipped as they left a meeting of the emergency cobra committee last night. the prime minister is understood to have told them to remain on high alert. he said there is no doubt rapid and public sentencing, as well as police stationed across the country, acted as a deterrent to prevent violence on wednesday night. well, we're going to continue with this strong policing response, making sure that there are additional police officers ready to respond, and also making sure we continue

with the prosecutions, with the taking the cases rapidly to court and getting sentences. and we've seen the prison sentences that are following. the home secretary thanked police for their role. the 6,000 extra specialist officers mobilized to tackle the violence remain on standby. more sentences will take place today, including for those guilty of posting material online to stir up racial hatred. the focus, for now, is the police and the courts. but questions are already turning to the role of social media companies, and whether the laws due to regulate them are sufficient. labour's mayor of london, sadiq khan, says he thinks they're not fit for purpose. harry farley, bbc news in westminster. let's take a step back and look more widely at the recent disorder across england and northern ireland. much of the unrest we've seen since the fatal stabbings of three

children in southport 11 days ago, was fuelled in part by misinformation, spread on social media about the alleged killer. our disinformation correspondent marianna spring has tracked down some of the people behind one of the first posts publishing false information, and asked them why they did it. all this week, we've been telling you a lot about how misinformation, false claims on social media, have been accused of fuelling riots in the uk. i've been investigating where it's coming from and why it's being shared. one of the first pages to share false information about the southport tragedy was this unregulated news site called channel3 now. they wrote a story about the stabbings in southport and quickly posted it on social media. some of the details were correct, but the name of the 17—year—old charged was false and the article wrongly suggested that the alleged attacker was here seeking asylum. nevertheless, it was widely quoted and shared, often by accounts posting disinformation and far—right ideas. and because the site name sounded

like a news station, people might have been less likely to question it. now, because of what happened in the uk this week, i tracked down some of the people linked to channel3 now to find out who they are. james is an amateur hockey player from nova scotia in canada. and then there's farhan. he's a dad who appears to be based in lahore in pakistan. when i reached out to farhan, he blocked me. but i've confirmed both of their identities by speaking to people who know them. we don't know if either of these people were responsible for the misinformation about southport, as the article doesn't have a by—line. i was also able to speak to someone who says they're called kevin and based in texas. they say they're involved in the running of the site and its social media accounts. this person apologised for the inaccurate article, what i found out about channel3 now points towards a site that wants to make money from jumping on stories quickly, rather than intentionally looking to fuel riots. kevin said the site is covering

as many stories as possible to generate income, so chasing clicks appears to have been more important than checking the facts. that's partly down to the design of the social media sites. x allows accounts to profit from their posts the more views they get, even if what they're saying is false. so what's the solution? well, current legislation in the uk, like the online safety act, doesn't have the ability to deal with disinformation, although there are other laws that deal with hate, incitement, violence. plus lots of the people involved are based abroad. instead, the power lies mainly with the social media companies and partly with those who share this content, whether intentionally or not. x hasn't yet responded to the bbc�*s request for comment. that was the bbc�*s marianna spring. we want to bring you some breaking
