  The crime happening on Facebook should make it far easier for the FBI to track down the real people behind it. This is something I don't understand... the NSA is listening to everything we do, watching everything we do, but when it comes time to find criminals we still struggle. Why? If they have all of our phone conversations and emails and social media profiles and the CIA owns Facebook and the FBI doesn't need warrants and all these doomsday scenarios about how the US is a police state, why do crimes even happen? And when they do, why does it take good old fashioned police work to solve them? And why do some still go unsolved? If Facebook is tracking everything you do across the entire web, if they know who you are even if you don't have a profile, if they're invading your privacy that much, and if they're hosting illegal content, why can't they find the real names of these people? Why can't the FBI just issue a warrant for the data and Facebook hands over the people's names and home address? Either law enforcement doesn't want to enforce the law, or the agencies don't actually have the capabilities we've been told they do. If they had the capability, you'd think they would actually use it. But when someone is threatening to shoot up a school on Twitter, it's not NSA wiretaps that catch him, it's users reporting him to Twitter and Twitter reporting it to the police. Where's the breakdown here? What happened to ECHELON?
