What a bunch of dumbass comments on advising the govt to ban XYZ devices when they can just shutdown all cell networks within 24Hrs. Television stations within 6 Hrs and other media within 48Hrs.
The Govts of any country don't need to ban any device regarding this sort of a thing.
In all countries of the world, a threat to it's sovereignty and security can be got down with force, not requiring any sort of ministerial discussions for ages.
911.... remember, it took them 3 hrs. to stop everything. Mumbai Attack, it took them 6 hrs to
get stuff to a standstill, london metro threat & shooting, 1 Hr. total media blackouts. No one gives a crap about citizens journalism just the opposition who need a thing to get down the government. People, rarely have had a say in any government or national movement after the french revolution.
Libya didn't go down in history for it's people, it goes down for french dual standards, the uk recent riots go into history for civilian unrest and has led to nothing other than a few people getting crazy sentences. desert storm the first, was the rise of CNN..... get it??? who's behind the curtain doing what is not dependent on silly iPhones, they've got way to sophisticated equipment if they really wanted to show the world what's happening there.
France has the eye in the sky for rent.....
It's only politics and capitalism that are causing all this crap. Not stupid Tech.
