In novembre 2007, a finnish eighteen-year old student shot 8 people in his high-school after publishing a video on youtube called "Jokela high-school massacre". “I am prepared to fight and die for my cause,” he wrote in a post, “I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.” Couldn't be clearer.
Question is: coud this kind of tragedy be avoided by a closer surveillance of video sharing webcasts (such as youtube or dailymotion for instance) or social networks?
As there are more and more e-platforms allowing to share videos, photos, personal infos and news, it is both crucial and increasingly difficult to hunt down actual harmful users.
What's more, this system can question the freedom of speech: e-police cannot arrest potential criminals basing on simple words...But waiting for them to act on their intentions is useless...
So where is the limit?
