Cincinnati zoo deletes Twitter and Facebook accounts over Harambe jokes; Guardian, 8/23/16

Elena Cresci, Guardian; Cincinnati zoo deletes Twitter and Facebook accounts over Harambe jokes:
"Cincinnati zoo has deactivated its social accounts after it asked the public to stop making memes about Harambe the gorilla.
The animal was shot dead this year after a three-year-old child climbed into his enclosure. Since then, Harambe has turned into a source of humorous content online.
Jokes about his memory have spread on all corners of the internet – including the mentions of Cincinnati’s zoo official social media accounts."
