The web as it is today leaves very little room for secrets. From the mistreatment of a whole community to the lies of a disloyal boyfriend, the web lets us find out the truth and make the truth be known.
When the mainstream media holds back from showing the true extent of voilence in a war-torn region or the police use excessive force during an arrest, there's likely to be someone there with a camera phone who can record the whole thing and put it out to an audience of thousands on YouTube, or any similar site.
When you suspect your partner may have been cheating, you can search their Facebook profile for evidence and make contact with any of their friends to find out more.
Could this have an affect on society? Knowing how difficult it now is to cover up anything we'd like to hide, could it really make us more careful about how we behave?
