Privacy Concerns Unveiled

Most of our discussions in the past months have surrounded growing criticisms of privacy issues and concerns that surround social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. While browsing through new technologies in a section of the \ (New York Times), I came across this article about a ongoing murder trial that has been followed by many twitter users inside the courtroom. This could be detrimental activity before a trial has been closed. Was this one of the intentions that twitter creators envisioned for their product?

  1. It is scary that so many criminal trials are turning back to social networking mediums for evidence. I think this is a good thing because if they are able to catch criminals by what they post online then it will make the world a safer place.

  2. I agree with Liz the internet is making the world a more scary place even more than it was before. Its making it easier for criminals to get acesses to people even more so with social networks. You made good points here it really makes me think about what I post on the internet these days
