A couple in Pennsylvania have been charged with murder after they stabbed a man who answered their advert on Craigslist. They apparently wanted to kill someone together to feel closer.
As with all stories that involve people meeting over media platforms this story raises questions about the security measures taken for the users on these sites. I personally feel that with most websites it is up to the users to ensure that they are safe on these sites. But with sites that allow people to advertise maybe stronger screening processes need to be enforced so that crime like this does not take place. Many people, especially the young or those who have not grown up with the internet, do not understand the dangers and maybe new legislation needs to be put in place so that people who are not able to protect themselves are not at such a big risk.
Obviously this murder is a rare occasion but child grooming, credit card fraud etc. are common and maybe the internet needs to be more regulated in today's society.
