Govt mulls to restrict social media
Prime Minister David Cameron said yesterday the government was looking at banning potential troublemakers from using social media, after it was used to organise riots across Britain this week.
"Everyone watching these horrific actions will be struck by how they were organised by social media. Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill," he told lawmakers.
"And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them.
Numerous people have been arrested across Britain for allegedly using Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) to incite violence.
