Who of us doesn't want to be an altruist? We have to need to please people, and especially people, who deny something free and easy from children, who ask them easy and free service feels cold and heartless person. This is a very problematic thing because in the world of espionage the people use this kind of tricks to map the social network of targeted people. The idea of use empathy as the tool of the search and phishing data from the social network is easy and effective.
The person just shares the letter on Facebook, where some lovely girl or boy just asks help for the school job or something else. The job, what the person must do is simple. They must just write their name under the picture and then share this text in their Facebook-accounts. Who doesn't want to help the princess to accomplish the school job, and then the name is under the picture, where the most attractive thing is asking this help for making studies. The tool is effective because it can be used to map the social network very effectively.
The most effective version is, that this kind of angel-picture is delivered from some discussion group, what means that some person, who is a member of that group just delivers the picture or message to persons, who is in the group, but also Facebook-mates outside the group. This thing helps to map the social network of the members of the discussion groups. When I'm talking about "angel photo". I mean the thing, what is attractive and combines the group. Angel photo can be a picture of firearms cancer patients and something like that.
This makes Facebook and other social media very powerful tool for intelligence and criminals. The police can create the discussion group, where people have hobbies with guns, and then delivers some pictures or messages to the people, who are members of this group. Then they can search if those messages are coming in the walls of the members of some hardcore radical's forums. This makes possible to track the connections with gun hobbyists and radicals. Also, the "angel photos" can be used to map the cancer patients and another kind of persons, whose pain medicals are suitable for illegal markets. This makes Facebook a very effective tool also in the hands of criminals.
