Facebook, Myspace Being Used To Fight Terrorism

Washington, Web sites like Facebook, MySpace, and others had been created as a platform for social interaction, but they are now fast becoming weapons for a positive social change.

The sites are now being seen as powerful tools of social and political change, and activists from around the globe are using them to get the message across.

"We are seeing communications technology as a powerful force for social and political change," Fox News quoted Matthew Waxman, an associate Professor at Columbia University, as saying.
