I'd really like to hope that society isn't that influenced by "social media" - however, something tells me that's a vain hope!

Lots of comments from Brexiteer accounts on Twitter last night saying "we didn't vote Leave because of a social media campaign, we've wanted this for years" etc.

It's fairly safe to say that the campaign managers were savvy. They wouldn't have spent £675,000 on social media advertising* if they didn't think it would have any effect.
