FaceBook Fishing

Different departments  of  federal police are using FaceBook to search criminals. Laws enforcement agencies increasingly are obtaining warrants  to search Facebook, often gaining detailed access to user's  accounts without their knowledge. A Reuters  review  shows that since 2008 federal judges have authorized at least two dozen warrants to search  individuals' Facebook accounts. Federal agencies seeking the  warrants include the FBI, DEA and Immigration  and customs  enforcement, and the investigations range from arson  to rape to terrorism. The review of data indicates that federal agencies were granted  at least 11 warrants to search Facebook since the beginning  of 2011, nearly double the number for of 2010.


In my opinion is good to search people that are using the internet for wrong purposes but also,  to get into their profile of some people without they authorizing it. The government should make a type of notice or warning, saying that this might happen more often for those Facebook users. For some Facebook users this problem will be affect them in someway. Because just like there are bad people that cause trouble, good people are concern about their privacy who doesn't like that someone doing something without their knowledge.
