The kind of good that you can be proud or thankful for. We are going to take a look at these instances in this post.<\/p>\n<p>In brief, lives were saved via Facebook, a group of kitchen employees who tampered with food was ousted by strangers, and the death of a hit-and-run victim was avenged.

If it feels like your peaceful...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>1. You\u2019re a lifesaver, Facebook friends!<\/h2>\n<p>Peter Casaru was a regular 59-year-old Facebooker who jokes in his statuses a lot. But friends took his status seriously when they saw his request for someone to call for an ambulance for him.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-wales-15227282\">He had woken up with a life-threatening spinal spasm<\/a> that had paralyzed him from the waist down and had taken an hour to crawl (blind, as he had misplaced his glasses) to his computer to ask for help. His phone battery was dead, and he lived alone. The authorities arrived within 20 minutes and saved Peter\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/internet-acts\/peter-casaru.jpg\" alt=\"peter casaru\" width=\"500\" height=\"348\"><\/figure>\n<p>In a separate case, a 16-year old boy from Oxford sent a private message to a friend in Maryland <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/\">about his plan to kill himself<\/a>. The girl told her mother, who informed the British embassy in Washington, DC. UK cops were alerted, and in the middle of the night and with only a few bits of info they could get from the girl, authorities managed to narrow possible addresses down to 8 houses.<\/p>\n<p>Officers were dispatched to all homes, and they found the boy in a drug overdose but still alive and got him to the hospital in time to save his life.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Lettuce help keep the kitchen clean<\/h2>\n<p>We can never be sure of what happens behind the kitchen doors at food outlets, but these days there are culprits who give us a behind-the-scenes look at the atrocities that were committed. \"This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King\" was one such example.<\/p>\n<p>A snap of two shoes adding \u2018spices\u2019 (see <strong>stepping in<\/strong>) to two trays of lettuce was released and circulated on 4chan (of all places) on July 16, 2012.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/internet-acts\/lettuce-burger-king-4chan.jpg\" alt=\"lettuce burger king 4chan\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>In less than 10 minutes, one 4chan user tracked down the location of the photo, based on its Exif data, to Mayfield Heights, Ohio. The address of the branch was identified by another user in 12 minutes, and Fox 8 news caught a whiff of the stinky issue in another 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, the offending employees \u2013 there were three \u2013 were fired and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fox8.com\/news\/burger-king-addresses-employee-lettuce-photo-posted-online\/\">Burger King released a statement<\/a> to assure its patrons that they have found and terminated the workers involved. No news about what they did with the tampered lettuce, though.<\/p>\n<h2>3. The human-powered take down<\/h2>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.u.arizona.edu\/~qpzhang\/paper\/HFS_Computer_2010.pdf\">Human Flesh Search (HFS) Engine<\/a> is a phenomenon prevalent in China which operates on voluntary crowdsourcing and the pooling of localized information via blogs and forums to facilitate real-life offline investigations. It\u2019s a form of <strong>citizen-powered sleuthing<\/strong>, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>A hit-and-run inside a Chinese university left one woman dead and another with a broken leg. The drunk driver sped off to drop his girlfriend at her dorm. When security guards arrested him, he dared them to sue him, saying \"My dad is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/11\/18\/world\/asia\/18li.html?_r=1\">Li Gang<\/a>!\".<\/p>\n<p>When the news hit the Web, users were quick to identify Li Gang as the deputy director of a police department in the district, which would explain his son, Li Qiming\u2019s brazen attitude.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/internet-acts\/li-gang.jpg\" alt=\"li gang\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\"><\/figure>\n<p>Offline, efforts to suppress reports of the incident were swift, and interviews with the dead woman\u2019s family members were kept off the news. Online, however, \"<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/globalvoices.org\/2010\/10\/22\/china-my-father-is-li-gang\/\">My father is Li Gang<\/a>\" turned viral, evolving into a catchphrase used to evade responsibility for one\u2019s actions. It was also the title of a poetry contest that received 6000 submissions. The Internet was not backing down.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly due to public pressure, Li was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-asia-pacific-12317756\">sentenced to six years in jail<\/a> from drunken driving and vehicular manslaughter. He was also ordered to pay compensation to the families of both victims. Justice came six months after the accident, but without intervention from the Internet, there may not be justice at all.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Diagnosis of rare disease<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon to find doting parents sharing bits and pieces of their children\u2019s lives; emergencies are no exception. And for these two mothers, it\u2019s a good thing they did.<\/p>\n<p>Cerys Owens <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.walesonline.co.uk\/news\/wales-news\/facebook-saved-baby-how-mother-2030958\">had been worried about the seizures her son<\/a>, Evan had been having since he was 3 weeks old. She posted a video of his seizures on Facebook, asking if anyone knew what condition her son had. A friend mentioned that it looked like Reflex Anoxic Seizures (RAS).<\/p>\n<p>RAS could be triggered by pain or even by the simple act of brushing one\u2019s teeth, leading to blackouts or heart-stopping. The diagnosis was confirmed when he was 13 months old (after it was identified via Facebook), and Cerys has been helping to spread awareness of the condition via clips of the seizures her son had.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/internet-acts\/Cerys-Owens.jpg\" alt=\"Cerys Owens\" width=\"500\" height=\"367\"><\/figure>\n<p>For Deborah Copaken Kogan, her 4-year-old son came home from class with a fever, a rash, and a note saying he probably has a case of strep. When the tests came back negative, Leo was sent home. In the next two days, her son\u2019s face would swell beyond recognition, and after Deborah updated her Facebook with the latest snap of his swelling, a former neighbor called her and told her to get him to the hospital immediately.<\/p>\n<p>She suspects Kawasaki disease, a fatal auto-immune disorder that attacks arteries near the heart, which her own son had. Doctors confirmed the diagnosis, and Leo was treated for the rare disease and for complications from it for the next three weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Lily and the giraffe bread<\/h2>\n<p>Ok, this one is a bit of a cheat. Even without social media, this exchange between a rep from Sainsbury and 3\u00bd year old Lily Robinson would have happened anyways. But it deserves a spot because we want more heart-warming stories like this to keep coming, don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>Lily wrote a very thoughtful and short, no-nonsense letter to Sainsbury asking them why their bread with giraffe spots was named tiger bread. We have to agree with her suggestion to rename it Giraffe bread (see below), and apparently, so did the customer service at Sainsbury.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/internet-acts\/giraffe-bread-sainsbury.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10150705324439112&set=a.10150644613369112.488655.792794111&type=1\">Here are both their letters<\/a>, plus a gift card from 27 1\/3 (isn\u2019t that cute?) year-old Customer Manager, Chris King. That post got over 150,000 Facebook likes, and Sainsbury made good on their promise to rename the bread. Chris has since left for university to become a teacher, and if you want to show your appreciation for what he has done, they\u2019ve got a Facebook fan page for that.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>It was not easy to track down these five cases, although we\u2019re sure that there are more heart-warming cases or stories of netizens doing their good for society. And this is why we want you to share your stories with us. Tell us about that story that you have read about and could never forget.
