Blaming the tools: Britain proposes a social-media ban

Blaming the tools: Britain proposes a social-media ban "In the wake of the riots in London, the British government says it’s considering shutting down access to social networks — as well as Research In Motion’s BlackBerry messenger service — and is asking the companies involved to help. Prime Minister David Cameron said not only is his government considering banning individuals from social media if they are suspected of causing disorder, but it has asked Twitter and other providers to take down posts that are contributing to “unrest.”"

I wonder if they will shut down telephone service? But what I really think is that all those surveillance cameras that London is famous for, aren't really useful in preventing crime.
