Lily Allen gives up the internet?

Lily Allen has suggested that she may give up posting on the internet.

The '22' singer's initial success in 2005 was aided by the popularity of her MySpace profile and her controversial MP3 "mixtapes".

However, Allen wrote on her Facebook and Twitter pages: "I am a neo-Luddite, goodbye."

The popstar recently sparked a discussion among artists regarding illegal online filesharing, of which she is a vocal critic, but she later said that she was "passing on the baton" in the debate

The original Luddite movement began in Britain in 1811 and was the name adopted by the handloom weavers who destroyed mechanised machines in protest at the effects of the Industrial Revolution.
