A woman tracks down one thief, calling on Facebook friends to help and another thief builds up a Fanpage, literally and metaphorically giving the finger to authorities. Why do we resent social networking sites assisting China but cheer when they help British authorities? Is it because China is “bad” and Britain is “good”? Or veiled…
