I chanced upon this article recently http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/03/social-media-complicating-crime-scenes/99442510/ , which showed how the openness of social media has its complications.

With the advancement of technology and evolution of web from 1.0 to 3.0, news has become instantaneous and easy to access. While many articles and news have covered the positive aspects, the credibility of these postings (should it be on personal accounts) are questionable. Social media is a double edged sword and I believe its very much on a user’s discretion and due diligence in posting the right content.
