There's plenty of logic in governments using the social tools at hand; anti-government and illegal activities, such as the UK riots in August, the Anonymous DDoS attacks, and revolutionary actions in Egypt all took great advantage of social media.
One example of where this kind of collaboration could work really well is in following breaking news topics and curating reports in realtime whilst verifying facts for everyone in the conversation - as was possible on Twitter during the UK riots.
If you block access to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube during political riots - that's censorship. As we learned in the last post, China says that the United States' accusations of Internet censorship are baseless.
