Estonian Courts Want To Use Twitter To Contact Crime Suspects

No one can say the Estonian courts are technologically backwards: they’re blazing a new social media trail as they attempt to outline the ways in which they can contact criminals and suspects via Facebook and Twitter, serving subpoenas in 140-characters or less.

It might sound absurd at first, but the Estonian courts proposing this new way of harnessing social media actually have a pretty solid method for making “social subpoenas” secure.
