The Associated Press reports:

US law enforcement agents are following the rest of the Internet world into popular social-­networking services, going ­undercover with false online profiles to communicate with suspects and gather private ­information, according to an ­internal Justice Department ­document that offers a tantalising glimpse of issues related to privacy and crime-fighting.
