Facebook and Twitter to oppose calls for social media blocks during riots http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/au ... blackberry
Well the problem is that innocent people will be affected by such draconian measures. Also it can be a way for people to avoid such areas and not be caught up in such actions. Typical knee jerk reaction from politicians and lazy police, who want things even easier. |

Surely it makes sense to keep them up, if not simply for evidence collection later? |

Exactly or so that people can actually avoid areas. The press would crucify any government that actually used such tactics as totalitarian. |

It makes sense to keep them up, it is how I knew some of my family were ok. Cheaper and easier than an international phone call! |

British governments have commented several times on the control of information in China. |

A government using the threat of a crisis as a tool to chip away at our rights? Who woulda thunk it? ![]() |
