Police & Web
Web, Rampage and YouTube
Tuesday 8th November 2007, seven schoolchildren and their principal were killed when a student opened fire in a town near Helsinki, in the deadliest shooting in Finland's history. The gunman shot himself in the head and died later in hospital. Two hours before police learned of the shootings, the gunman posted a warning with pictures of the campus and an armed man on YouTube, an online video service of Google Inc.
It is probably impossible for the police to check every video like this on YouTube. Internet is not about Control, it should be about knowledge and sharing... About this terrible story, the best way to stop this trends is to inform and communicate about this sort of rampage and to know why it is happening. No auto script control on video can get how desperate this man was.
The best way to help is propably in the Real Life, and to put some original contents online for each country, written by specialists to help people and to prevent this sort of act.
