David Cameron has told parliament that in the wake of this week's riots the government is looking at banning people from using social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook if they are thought to be plotting criminal activity.
"Everyone watching these horrific actions will be struck by how they were organised via social media. Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill," said Cameron.
"And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them. So we are working with the police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality."
ugh"Citizens also have the right to secure communications. Business, politics and free speech relies on security and privacy. David Cameron must be careful not to attack these fundamental needs because of concerns about the actions of a small minority."
Couldn't they just get on a random forum if they were blocked from all the mainstream social networking sites? That would actually be much more organised.
there are quite a few white people in the riots tooThe police "mistreatment" of the black population in the UK is a natural consequence of their rampant lawlessness and violent criminality, exactly as is the case with blacks in the United States. While it is likely that the mullato Negro Mark Duggan did not fire his weapon at the police he was still a crack-dealing, gang-banging Negro carrying an illegal firearm so it is not surprising that the police opened fire on him, though, they should still be reprimanded severely for this misaction, even if Duggan is an example of Leben Sunwertesleben. If they're so upset about police mistreatment perhaps they should return home and leave England to the English. It's a shame the Metropolitan Police didn't respond to the riot by simply firing directly into the crowd. No sympathy from me for these vermin infesting what was once a beautiful country. Publically hang all the arsonists and put the rest of the rioters in labour camps.

nah you wouldn't m8i wish i was there and formed a team of vigilantes with my friends, i just want an excuse to hit people i guess. heard a story about the turkish community banding together and defending their businesses and homes, and in one instance they chased rioters several kilometres with baseball bats in hand. things like that just make me feel so uplifted.
