The man reportedly posted a very unambiguous death threat against the Colombian president's son back in July of this year, with a Facebook message reading, "I promise to kill Jeronimo Alberto Uribe, son of Alvaro Uribe." With help from the American FBI, Colombian intelligence were able to determine the IP address of the computer used to post the threat.

Do you think we'll see more criminal cases mediated by Facebook and other social networks in the coming years?
