If you committed a crime, would you share it with the world? #BBCTrending investigates Tumblr’s ‘Bling Ring’; a community that gets its kicks from shoplifting. Presenter Mukul Devichand is joined by BBC Trending’s Hannah Moore. The anti-racism #weareallmonkeys has been tweeted almost 400,000 times in response to footballer Dani Alves eating a banana thrown onto the pitch. But is the campaign all it seems? BBC Brasil’s Bruno Garcez drops in to tell us more. Plus, Kenya takes on South Africa in a Twitter battle with #someonetellsouthafrica. Mukul gets a ringside interview with comedian and social media hit Erick Omondi to find out why Kenya’s up in arms on social media.
