Speaking on ITV's Daybreak, Mr Cameron said the government and parliament will now look at bringing in new legislation to cover privacy laws.
However, on the same day that newspaper editors are seeking to have married footballer CTB's super-injunction overturned by the High Court, the prime minister warned there would be no 'simple answer'.
He said: 'It is rather unsustainable, this situation, where newspapers can't print something that clearly everybody else is talking about.
'But there's a difficulty here because the law is the law and the judges must interpret what the law is.
'What I've said in the past is, the danger is that judgments are effectively writing a new law which is what parliament is meant to do.

'So I think the government, parliament has got to take some time out, have a proper look at this, have a think about what we can do.
Mr Cameron said the emergence of Twitter and other social networks as genuine drivers of the national agenda has changed the way the press operates - and hinted UK legislation should move with the times.
