The last days were full of mass media reports on a YouTube video: Kosovo za patike.
If at the YouTube they have baned it for younger than 18 - it could be full seen from our commercial TV:
Svet na Kanalu A
During the time of riots in Belgrade against the independence of Kosovo two young girls went to a shopping spree - robbing from stores that have been assaulted by rioters. Little did they know (ok they've figured it out in between) that there was an unknown individual filming their adventure. And the video ended up on YouTube where it got extreme attention. They got arrested thanks to the video.
This reminded me of a conversation we had the last Wednesday with Sašo and Igor at the pub after the New Media and Society lecture :). Sašo was just telling how internet is an extremely well suited tool for a peer-to-peer surveillance - just as in the time of Hitler Germany "normal" people were the ones doing the surveillance and not the Gestapo. This is a prime example of Sašo's point. Ironically - I am doing it right now :).
I am not shure, but I think that the phenomena is termed little brother effect. Does anyone know more on this?
