The article I read was about the United States government using social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace to do investigation on people and catch criminals. Though it may be helpful for the government it brings up privacy issues since the government is in fact surveiling the U.S. population. There was a lawsuit against the government was in fear that the government would abuse the use of social networks. From the perspective of the US government, using Facebook and Myspace is a very beneficial thing because they are able to catch more criminals and it's a lot easier than sitting around and waiting. For the US population they feel violated and anxious because what would stop the government from investigting on anyone they want? This is not just happening in the US, it's also in the UK.
