Wetherspoons shuts down social media accounts in its 900 pubs
Its chain boss says 'people spend too much time' on social media.
JD Wetherspoon has announced it's closing down its Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts for all its 900 pubs and head office with immediate effect.
Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said, "We are going against conventional wisdom that these platforms are a vital component of a successful business. I don't believe that closing these accounts will affect our business whatsoever, and this is the overwhelming view of our pub managers."
