We can no longer question the volcanic impact Mobile phones
and social networks can make on national security.
The disturbances in the Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, England,
Malawi and other countries seem to be leading to new thoughts in technologies
that minimize the spread of information about riots and internal uprisings.
A patent that has been filed by Cupertino has the potential
to allow governments or police to remotely disable iPhone cameras of demonstrators.
If this technology succeeds, demonstrators’ Mobile phone cameras can be
remotely stopped from taking and sending pictures of the disturbances and posting
them on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. This can, thus, minimize
the speed and intensity by which information about the riots and demonstration spread
over cyber space.
