Police say a 13-year old male has fallen prey to Twitter, the addictive, web based social networking website that allows users to inform members about their current activity using free text messages.
Currently no dodgy middle aged man has been arrested on suspicion of being a sexual predator, although it is widely suspected that the currently unnamed suspect would use the service in order to satisfy their perversions: investigators are currently not searching computers of the dodgy middle aged man in order to find evidence that the man did not meet the child using Twitter.
Both the man and the boy were not found at a hotel near SXSW.
Thought I’d do Fox and co’s work for them, y’know, just in case they have to make a scaremongering article about twitter. Seriously though, I think twitter is probably the social network with the most potential to be exploited - the service encourages people to tell other people where they are and what they’re doing at that precise moment.
