With the benefit of hindsight, it has been conclusively demonstrated that almost all mass murderers (over the last few years) have had a very strong social media presence including tell tale posts indicative of their intensions.

That is something anyway. Maybe someone watched the show
Elementary this season which is precisely about this and a bigwig businessman who goes down the path of killing people his search engines show MIGHT become such mass murderers. Sherlock Holmes and Watson are trying to take this madman down. No human being should play God. And this man, the search engine Guru, is a narcissistic sociopath IMHO. He is extremely bright though.
And I would guess many of the friends of would be mass shooters are already telling the FBI and local police about friends and acquaintances they think might do something horrible. They have stopped would be shooters this way. I think one at the Villages Charter School was stopped by someone alerting a school authority of stuff he/she had heard on the social grape vine. That was after Parkland I believe much not very long after it. I could be wrong however.
