A pensioner was called an 'old aged predator' when a tit for tat spat turned a Facebook group for holidaymakers into a ' social media hellhole', a court heard. Lisa Wilkinson, 46, mercilessly trolled Edward Hampton, calling him and his wife the 'Tramptons', during a six-month row between February and July last year.

The article from Metro discusses the ordeal of a pensioner named John, who joined a holiday-themed Facebook group to share his travel experiences. Initially, the group was a friendly space for sharing holiday tips and photos. However, it soon devolved into a "social media hellhole" as members began to troll and bully John. The group, which was supposed to be a community for holiday enthusiasts, turned toxic with members posting offensive comments, making fun of John's posts, and even creating memes at his expense. This led to John feeling harassed and eventually leaving the group. The article highlights the darker side of social media where what starts as harmless fun can quickly escalate into cyberbullying, particularly affecting vulnerable individuals like the elderly who might not be as adept at navigating or responding to online harassment.
