We all agree that a protest has been followed minute by minute on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. But perhaps, this new technological interaction between social rights and social networks has been too hyped from traditional media in the UK, with covers and more editorials explaining the use of new technologies that own criminal acts. In 2011, when someone wants to spread news instantly is becoming greater use of social networks like Twitter, which has more than 200 million users, of which 9% are in the UK (the third country greater number of users) for what seems perfectly normal that everything had been organized following the singing of birds.

In a metropolitan area where distrust between police and local communities has been for many years, the normal currency exchange , friends and lovers disorder ancient revolutions have been forced to look for secure communication channels to plot their strategies. The arrival of the news of strong social cutbacks for the families was the starting point to implement private channels of communication. To all the leaders, the arrival of an application like BlackBerry Messenger, was the answer to all your questions: free, cheap, safe, private, instant ... with this tool could start any revolution, or worse, an escalation of violence without a definite goal.
