BBC News - FBI plans social network map alert mash-up application - 1 views

    The FBI's idea sounds like a good one, as it could lead to early warnings for law enforecement all around the world on any local or global threats, One good example of how a piece of software like this could have been used is the Norweigan massacre, as it was reported by the media that terrorist Anders Breivik had mentioned put forward extremist ideology and terrorist tendency while using the internet, going so far as to write a manifesto. On the other hand it would be vital for this application to fall under the Data Protection Act meaning data on individuals would have to be kept safe and up-to-date, it would only be kept for the necessary amount of time, and that all information would be deleted once a suspect was deemed innocent.
