The role of social media has long stretched beyond simple pleasure and reunions with long lost friends and loved ones. Over the past couple of years, employers have taken to social media to track potential candidates' activities and use what they see to qualify/disqualify applicants for positions, and recently, college universities are now tracking incoming applicants' activities to accept/deny students a slot in their schools. This practice certainly has beneifts, but the cons seem to far outweigh the pros when an individual's social media activities are used as evidence in a capital criminal case, or as inflammatory building blocks to legalize an illegal manuever. Tonight, our discussion centers around the case of rapper Tiny Doo and Aaron Harvey, an African-American California resident who are both facing life in prison for a picture posted n Facebook which authorities say prove gang affiliation and provoked a murder spree. Should social media activities be allowed as case-building evidence in the law? And are African-Americans once again the prime hunting game in --this practice? Tune in tonight at 11 pm EST by calling 347-327-9967.
