Facebook and Twitter to oppose calls for social media blocks during riots | Media Facebook and Twitter are preparing to stand firm against government ministers' calls to ban people from social networks or shut their websites down in times of civil unrest. The major social networks are expected to offer no concessions when they meet the home secretary, Theresa May, at a Home Office summit on Thursday lunchtime. Ministers are expected to row back on David Cameron's call for suspected rioters to be banned from social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, following the riots and looting across England a fortnight ago. The home secretary will explore what measures the major social networks could take to help contain disorder – including how law enforcement can more effectively use the sites – rather than discuss powers to shut them down.

Andy Carvin: the man who tweets revolutions | Media Andy Carvin insists that the introduction on his Google Plus profile – "I tweet revolutions" – is a joke, but nevertheless that's what he's famous for. Armed with TweetDeck – the power Twitter user's app of choice – and a thoroughly curated group of reliable, enthusiastic and well-informed Twitter users, the social media strategist for US public service radio broadcaster NPR has become known for his mastery of aggregated and verified real-time news through Twitter.

News organisations have become increasingly fascinated by Carvin's experiments as the value of insight, and the expertise required in aggregating and filtering information on social networks, has become more apparent. "It's a form of situational awareness, something I noticed in late June when I was in Tahrir Square in Cairo and hundreds of people were injured when the police attacked.
