British pub chain JD Wetherspoon has deleted all of its social media profiles, with chairman Tim Martin citing the "current bad publicity surrounding social media, including the trolling of MPs and others" as one of the reasons behind the move.
He added that recent concerns regarding the misuse of personal data following the Facebook scandal and the addictive nature of social media, had influenced its decision.
The outspoken pub boss said he did not believe that closing down the Twitter and Facebook accounts, which had 44,000 and 100,000 followers, respectively, would have any affect on the business "whatsoever".
