The above link is an article stating...
"Wayne Forrester, 34, told police he was devastated that his wife Emma, also 34, had changed her online profile to "single" days after he had moved out."
I personally know a bunch of people in which their relationship status can be so contraversial.
These are jsut a few of the crazy problems that become associated with new technologies. People are streaming their deaths online and today a facebook status can be the death of you. I'm not saying people are going to start doing this, its just that crime and laws have to advance themselves with the growing technologies. Facebook is going to become a tool for law enforcement, and especially in domestic abuse cases. How do you feel about this tragic news? Do you feel you are putting too much information that can physically hurt you??

I think that people understand that these networking sites are not a direct cause of unfortunate consequences such as this, but they may be a contributing factor.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that the legal system will need to dramatically change in the next few years to accommodate the variety of internet-related crimes that have begun to pop up. While this murder was not directly linked to Facebook, the fact that this man used it as the source of his action is unsettling.
