Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry to face questioning at riot summit.
(From Guardian Unlimited)
Cabinet ministers will tomorrow hold a summit meeting with Facebook, Twitter and the maker of BlackBerry smartphones over the role of social networks played in the unprecedented riots and looting across England a fortnight ago.
The home secretary, Theresa May, is expected to explore what measures the major social networks could take to help contain disorder, including whether it is practical to switch off or block users from their websites during times of civil unrest.
However, the technology companies will strongly warn the government against introducing emergency measures that could usher in a new form of online censorship.
