UK PM considering banning use of Twitter, Facebook and Blackberrys during future violence

How very third world of him.

[UK Prime Minister David] Cameron made the announcement in his opening statement during a House of Commons debate Thursday.

"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," the prime minister said.

Cameron clarified that he would "review" potential bans to see whether such policies would be possible.
