There is some benefit to police using the web to find out about Facebook party invites that go viral and making sure they have rostered resources to babysit 2,000 kids on a Saturday night - but my own country, Australia, is actually using such material as evidence for secret courts to lock up foreigners. If you are coloured, poor and born in another country, this type of material can be used in place of real evidence, "trial by google", and you are guilty until proven innocent (but with no access to the evidence to help you prove what you are not guilty of).
