Social media is forcing people to look at what FIFA's not showing in Brazil (Twitpic/Sonia Mossri)

But the cameras rarely pan beyond the shiny new stadiums; they rarely show the hundreds of thousands of people who were forced to create them.

The cameras don't show people the increases in police brutality, human trafficking, child prostitution and drug trades that the World Cup brings to countries--especially to countries where these were already serious issues long before the World Cup. 

Yes, hosting the World Cup brings greater allure and tourism to a country, but it also brings an onslaught of problems that the locals have to deal with long after the cameras leave and the tourists return home.
