The Radio 2 presenter says he is 'disgusted' at social media giants after experience left him 'broken'
Broadcaster Jeremy Vine has hit out at social media firms as he said his stalker had put out a video promising to be back days after being jailed.He posted videos and messages online about his victims and encouraged his followers to target them.
He said: "I was afraid of what he could do to my family. I was afraid because you have to think around corners with this stuff. "They take down individual videos and then when he's convicted, they demonetised him. But half the videos about me are still out there," he said. He said he was "disgusted by their lack of values" and also criticised Twitter as he said Belfield still possessed an account despite being in prison.Alex Belfield was been jailed for five and a half years for stalking four people
"I was afraid of what he could do to my family. I was afraid because you have to think around corners with this stuff. And, you know, we've seen knife attacks on MPs, MPs being killed, people who are prominent being attacked," he said."I've got two teenage daughters, you know, I can't be casual about it. So at that point I was scared for them."
