_Short summary (2-5 sentences, NO COPING)

The article states that the England government doesn’t have plan to shut down Twitter and facebook, and decided to use it in the emergencies. This idea was put to avoid people from committing crimes that will happen because of Twitter or facebook.

_Issues that you can find:

_Is it true that social media is just the way to solve our problems?

-Do you think the main reason for change Arabic regimes is social media?

My opinion:

I think that England's Government made a wise decision by use these social media to protect their people from the risk that came from fake news. Also, there are many crimes that will happen because of using these media in bad ways.
