A survey conducted in Britain in August 2024 found that 46 percent of adults thought that social media networks did a bad job at handling misinformation during the riots that took place in July and August 2024. Overall, 25 percent said that social media networks did a fairly bad job, and just one percent felt that they did a very good job. In the aftermath of the UK's far-right riots that occurred in late July and early August 2024, the most common type of crime that offenders have been charged with is that of violent disorder.
