...some, punishing abusers after they torment victims isn't enough. Gary Trowsdale, founder of a group called Families Utd, a British advocacy group for relatives of young murder victims, says people should automatically lose their cyberliberties in addition to their civil liberties if they're found guilty of a crime. Although Facebook bans sex offenders from using the site, it has no specific policy for people convicted of other crimes. "Until they serve their time, they should lose the ability to have their profile on any of these social-networking sites," Trowsdale says. "Their information should be given to Facebook...
...frustration of young people occasionally explodes into violence in Greece. In December 2008, Athens and other major cities were racked by weeks of violent protests over the fatal police shooting of a 15-year-old boy as well as the perceived lack of opportunities in the country.

There's no real opportunity here." He and his friends fear they...
...Fofi Klimentidi, a 33-year-old teacher in Athens, is typical of many young Greeks who don't earn enough to support themselves despite being well-educated. She has an undergraduate degree from a Greek university and a master's degree in special education from the U.K. But the only job she can find is temporary, part-time work. In a good month, she makes $400. "My father helps support me," she said during a civil-servant protest against the austerity measures on Feb. 10. "We're already exploited by the state. We can't live on what they give...
