You may or may not have seen the news lately, but in regard to drug cartel denouncers, sh*t is getting real in Mexico. The main forms of protest? Twitter, a news organization called Al Rojo Vivo, and a blog called Blog del Narco; all of which allow users to post or submit photos and videos of what's going on in their area.

The thing is, many people post information online anonymously, so it’s hard to believe that the individuals who were hung from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo were actually the intended, or rather, correct targets the drug organizations were seeking. There was a message left at the scene saying that other people “posting funny things on the internet” would receive a similar fate, but can these people actually be found?  When it comes down to it, do the deaths of potentially innocent individuals become the responsibility of those speaking out against the drug lords?

At this point, one person who spoke with CNN and is a user on the Al Rojo Vivo forums believes that the denouncements should continue. He contributes this to the difficulty in tracing a post back to a specific person. But does anonymity really matter when a person who may or may not have been the actual Twitter user is pulled from the street and killed? There are scores of internet trolls here in America. If you go to any website with a forum, public or private, you're bound to find a few. The difference is that here in America, trolling seems to be viewed as a fun pastime (perhaps even an art form with enough finesse).

I’m not saying that people should stop exposing violence publicly or speaking against these organizations. However, homicides aided by social media are not a new trend. Last year, three Colombian teens aged 16, 17 and 19 were killed after being put on a Facebook hit list.

But how quickly and fundamentally would society change if people were killed for things they have no control over, specifically, for the kid creating infective type in his mom's basement. It would be interesting, yet, perhaps scary, if people were held accountable for the things they did even on the internet.
