FBI using Facebook in fight against crime
-Daniel Nasaw
Do you really know the person you are adding? People has to ask themselves that for now on because now FBI agents are using social networks, including Facebook, to help find criminals. The FBI creates a fake profile, which is against the terms & conditions of Facebook, and use that profile to add suspects and search their profile for evidence of crimes.
I found it interesting that how FBI is using something current to help find criminals and how some people are dumb enough to actually admit to crimes online. I also found it interesting how the FBI are breaking the terms & conditions of Facebook.
Why is it controversial?
This is controversial because in the article is mention that how the FBI could be using Facebook can be consider illegal action since they are breaking Terms & Conditions. But others believe agents should go undercover on the Internet just as much as they go undercover in the real world.
What questions do you have about the subject?
Is it okay for the FBI or any other government's agency to break the rules for their better good?
Does this action goes against the Bill of Rights?
Will help put more criminals behind bars?
How much will this affect our future?
What is your opinion on this? Do you agree or disagree?
