While addressing the unfortunate riots in Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron has assured the Parliament that his administration is considering the matter seriously and looking into whether social media services should put on hold to deal with the circumstances.

"When people are using social media for violence we need to stop them”, said Cameron. "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 Web sites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder, and criminality”.

In response to his statement, a lawyer notified that the country already has legal provisions to protect against network users suspected of inciting violence although, he stressed on the need of a new legislation to prevent online stimulation to crime in real time.

Meanwhile, the California Department of Corrections has announced that it was working with Facebook to obstruct inmates who were violating prison regulations by accessing the social network.

Simultaneously, the New York Police Department has outlined a special unit to watch social networks for evidence of gangs, rowdy house parties and other potential criminal activities as these sites can play a role to track the rioters
