"The Johannesburg police are pushing back, saying they have charged the @PigSpotter Twitter user with defamation, impairing the dignity of another person and "defeating the ends of justice""

That line from this article on CNN discuses how a twitter user who was tipping people off to speed traps set by the police in South Africa has been charged with those offenses stated above. The article discusses how the twitter user, who was charged on a friday, continued to report on speed traps that monday. This claim was of interest to me because of the absolute freedom one has with the internet. Although @PigSpotter, who remains anonymous, is facing charges, he is still able to access the internet, and therefore twitter. When is it OK to keep using the internet as a way to make a point, in this case, @PigSpotter is grateful for the attention as he thinks it will bring notice to the corruption of the South African police force, and when it the internet unsafe for the users? Since the web is exactly as it states, world wide, it is easy to be found out. I thought this article brought up issues of convergence in ways that Twitter is being used as an always accessible police radar. @PigSpotter was using the platform of Twitter as a means of warning.
