Following all the news about riots/protests/counter-protests from 4,000 miles away. I had to go and refresh my memory that the last major disorder on this scale was in August 2011, following a fatal shooting by police. Back then all the messaging was done with Blackberry Messenger (BBM) while now Telegram seems to be the popular platform along with one particular agent provocateur on the platform formerly known as Tw*tter.
