The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus: People You May Know

In Belarus, about 5 000 criminals remain unpunished. Their identikits are hardly noticeable. TDI Group, Belarus created 6 trial Facebook accounts of criminals to have them noticed by lots of people using the "People You May Know" algorithm (which suggests friends based on mutual information). By now, over 2 000 000 people saw them on People You May Know section. Vitaliy Shukan was caught a few months after the project had been launched. The project has already been adopted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus as a criminal search tool.
