Facebook manages to recreate some of the hierarchy found in traditional networks, by creating status through the amount of followers an individual may have or how many likes they receive on a post. With the creation of Facebook groups, Facebook even allows for individuals to create smaller more specific networks based on a common interest. For example in the documentary series <em>Don&#8217;t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer<\/em>, participants used online forums and Facebook groups to come together as amateur sleuths and even broke off to create smaller more selective groups to work on the specific Luka Magnotta case. Even though all these people were very physically separate they were able to create an effective online network over a common goal where certain hierarchies emerged over time. However, as the text points out there are certain limitations to communicating over the internet as all the data in the world will never be able to full encompass the complexity of an individual human.<\/p>\n<p>Link to trailer for <em>Don&#8217;t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer (available on Netflix): <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x41SMm-9-i4\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x41SMm-9-i4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its origin Facebook attempted to be a digitalization of the social networks that exists in many parts of our lives, including the college campus where Facebook made its genesis.
