Ramadan: Why are people obsessed with stuff like Facebook and Hi5?

[Patti]

They have been used for malicious purposes here in the US. Perverts can contact each other that way. One posted on his page that he was "curious, interested" in cannibalism. This happened less than 15 miles from where I live. He killed a young girl and butchered her and was going to eat her. He had friends he met through the site and they were shocked to find out what crime he had committed, they didn't get a clue from the cannibal remarks. The police found his page after they found the little girl. (The little girl's father lived downstairs from the murderer, she was very friendly and would talk to anyone) And employers are checking out pages of their employees or job applicants looking for reasons that they shouldn't hire or promote them.

And young people, who are naive, will post all kinds of details including clues to where they live and go to school...doesn't make it hard for someone with bad intentions to find them.
