I often think about the Witness Protection Program and how much harder it must be to be a part of it in the age of social media and new forms of instant communication. While it's hard enough to cut off ties with family and friends, etc., it must be much worse when there are so many ways to keep in touch with people. Worse, I can't imagine someone in the program would be able to have any kind of online presence. It would be too easy to leak details about yourself.
