I find it outrageous that the British government is even considering restricting the freedom of modern communication such as social media. That they are asking Twitter, Facebook, BlackBerry and any other social network for help is a justifiable step. Of course the authorities want help in arresting the instigators of the riots, which were nothing more than looting, horrific violence and vandalism. Not, as 30 years ago, an indictment of the poverty and poor economic prospects of young people, but pure vandalism, theft and large-scale, organised crime against society.

But even then, it cannot be the case that the British government wants to force Twitter ivory coast phone number list to close its network to rioters . Despite the reprehensibility of the actions of these criminals, it is the freedom of a democracy, where you have unlimited access to a means of communication. Every restriction is an infringement of acquired freedoms. It is incomprehensible that this idea of ​​restricting freedom of communication comes from a government in which the liberal democrats form the coalition together with the conservatives. There are enough possibilities for the authorities to monitor social media. And even more so, to use these same networks for their own interests ( which Sander Duivestein wrote about earlier this week ). Just as accounts of opponents of the riots were also quickly created via Twitter . They gained 20,000 followers within an hour. Or like the page on Facebook , where initiatives are shown to clean up the cities. Or the residents who set up vigilantes via social media. That is the same freedom of the internet and social media.
