I've wondered a few times how witness protection works in the world of Facebook. I can totally imagine someone's picture being randomly spotted by a 4-hop connection, being tagged and the cover being blown. Anyone have any interesting research on this subject?
- m0nastic 16y agoI would be very surprised if the Marshall Service doesn't have pretty straightforward guidelines about what sorts of things to avoid when under witness protection. I would expect that having a Facebook account at all is something to avoid. I can see a situation where eventually the idea of not having a Facebook account is in itself something unusual, in which case they might need to refine the policy, but I suspect that currently, it boils down to "don't use Facebook, don't use Twitter".
