Jennifer Dulos Facebook Page Shutdown After Troll Attack
A Facebook group dedicated to sharing news updates about Jennifer Dulos' disappearance was shutdown after trolls gained access to it.
NEW CANAAN, CT — A Facebook page dedicated to updates about Jennifer Dulos' disappearance was shutdown after it was infiltrated by Internet trolls.
The group, “Jennifer Dulos, Fotis Dulos, Michelle Troconis, Connecticut Case Discussion,” swelled to nearly 10,000 members, but trolls either hacked the page or erroneously were given access by page administrators, according to Greenwich Time.
The creator of the group said the trolls managed to gain administrative privileges and took away the privileges of the real page administrators. They then posted "pro-Fotis Dulos" items when the group was originally dedicated to helping find Jennifer Dulos.
