The net lets you peer into previously hidden and private spaces. But having a look at the myspace profile of the man at the centre of current suspicion for the multiple murders of women in Ipswich, is a stark example of how the net can change the contact and view we have of people. Certainly, viewing his profile (which you can find here) is a haunting and rather disquieting experience. In particular it’s impossible not to look at the people in his network, especially the women, and not be curious about the connection they have with the suspect.
