Petition Action

Do not block social media during social strife

Additional Information

The recent riots that started in London and spread to many other cities and resulted in a lot of damage and property loss. Yes, they were shocking.

Social media helped more than it hindered. Friends and local groups kept in touch and coordinated safety. Cleanup efforts were instigated and supported through social media.

Do not block it at the very time the innocents need it the most. Get better at monitoring it for security and use it to promote the public good.
