I don't use any social media (apart from this one, and visiting some subreddits without logging in) and Tate was indeed widely talked about for the 2-3 months before his arrest, at least in Britain. You don't have to be on social media - the UK newspapers and other sources will pick up what ever people are talking about on there.
