It’s becoming common for first responses to fast-moving crises—terrorist acts, emergencies, natural disasters—to arrive over fast-moving social-media channels.

The greatest moral failing isn’t theirs: It’s ours. We buy products from manufacturers like Apple. We ignore the reports that we hear.

Police say the privacy settings on the students Facebook accounts allowed access to the photos and the information, but both police and school officials say the kids aren’t to blame. Students agree.

Apple doesn’t like negative publicity, so they’re sending a third party to pick up some talking points and when that third party comes back, all smiles, we’ll forget about real sweatshops in real places.

Mmmm fireplace and split pea soup =)
