I like Jarett's post called "Facebook Locks Up Criminals"
because it shows how everyone can easily get information about certain people.
Social Networks are definitely a great opportunity to fight crime but on the
other hand our privacy gets vulnerable. Will the police use social networks for
their own benefit in the future? Would this strategy be ethical? Those are
interesting questions! When we talked about the Arab Spring in class, I think
we had a source that said that some revolutionists were arrested through Facebook.
As Jarett says, “what started out as a
social media website to stay in contact with friends, and groups is now being
used as a secret weapon by local business to catch criminals.” This could
indeed be the start of an evolution of Facebook.
