Cameron addressed a statement to the parliament on Thursday, warning to unleash a clampdown on the web-based social outfits, including Facebook, Twitter and Research in Motion, the producer of BlackBerry devices.
He said the government would consider applying the ban against the people, who are suspected of ´inciting violence online.´
The premier cautioned the websites to take more responsibility for their contents.
Unrest has rocked Britain in a scale unprecedented in 30 years following the police´s killing of black male Mark Duggan in a shooting spree in the London suburb of Tottenham last Thursday.
Tension erupted on Saturday, when a few hundred people gathered outside a police station in Tottenham to protest the killing.
The protests have spread to major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol.
Cameron´s threat, meanwhile, defied the White Hall´s claim to being an advocate of human rights and freedom of expression.
End.
