Quote 1: "Last month's riots highlight the substantial difficulty of balancing citizens' safety with a free and open new media."


Quote 2: "It is hard to see how interception of communications about the riots could be done lawfully when a signed warrant from the home secretary is required."


Quote 3: '"The government are committed to a free and open internet, and we are not seeking additional powers to close down social media networks."'
