by The subreddit where users compile, analyze, and discuss images, links, and thoughts about the Boston Bombing wants the media to buzz off. Thats not likely to happen: The FBI has yet to make public the clear picture its said to have of a potential suspect, but when that happens, well know whether it is or isnt one of the individuals in various images deconstructed in that subreddit and elsewhere online. In other words: did the crowd get there first? Or have random innocent citizens been unfairly demonized? And if its the latter, whose fault is that?

As perhaps the most prominent crowdsleuthing venue to emerge in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, FindBostonBombers has been criticized by everyone fromtoas . Thus a top post on FindBostonBombers at the moment blames the media for making images of potential suspects go viral (and further accuses it of picking on this small subreddit).

Certainly I would never pick on a subreddit, large or small. But it seems to me you either believe the magic of crowd power is a useful means of identifying suspects, or you dont. The harsh reality is that discussion requires looking at all possibilities, the subreddits explanation declares. Okay. But then a list of rules includes this: Do not make any images viral. Limit reposting images outside of this sub.

And how is that supposed to work? Were unleashing the power of the crowd dont tell anybody? Any image posted in an open forum on the Internet is an image that has been made public. And thats something we celebrate all the time: the leveled playing field that makes it possible to route around the gatekeepers of the old mass media age. Among those who have signed on to this world view, of course, is most of the current mass media, which is eager to celebrate and propagate the latest hot memes via drive-time radio to late-night chat shows and all venues in between.Motherboard articulates : Thousands of eyeballs combing the digital documentation of the tragic day's events are better than the scores the FBI can musterthe enthused, unpredictable crowds on Reddit and 4Chan might turn up leads even the seasoned forensic scientists at the FBI or the Boston PD might miss."

As it happens, I dont agree with that at all. There are scenarios where crowdsleuthing could be useful. But in this instance, in addition to public imagery, the FBI has access to massive (and, indeed, probably unnerving) amounts of surveillance imagery, and high-tech tools for analyzing it, that the crowd lacks. And if the agency isnt yet ready to publicize the name and image of the suspect it is said to have identified, I have no problem with that the stakes are very high, and sometimes a gatekeeper isnt such a bad thing.

Still, if you believe otherwise, and figure its a useful idea to speculate in public that maybe this or that guy with a black backpack attending a popular event is a murderer, then you are welcome to that opinion. But its not the media thats put that speculation in the public sphere. The Internet is not a secret hideout: it is the public sphere. Usually, thats exactly what we find so amazing and wonderful about it. To pretend otherwise now would make the crowd a hypocrite.*You can followandon Twitter.
