BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - The FBI has announced a new campaign to stop people from making threats on social media.
There were a number of hoaxes after the school shooting in Parkland, Fla. The #ThinkBeforeYouPost campaign is an effort to educate people about the serious consequences of posting threats.
"This is a message to those people, that it's not a joke. It's a very serious matter that the FBI and our partners take very seriously," said Paul Daymond, spokesperson for the Birmingham FBI office.
