Alright I am surprised here. How come the US department of Defense allow Marines to use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. That’s great for the armed division given that much free Football players aren’t allowed to use the social networks even now. Does this mean that soccer players have much important secrets that those in the armed forces? Of course not!
I recall that these sites had been blocked for the armed personnel a couple of years back but that wasn’t made an official rule. That is of course the reason why it has been lifted and the soldiers been allowed to use these platforms. Now this doesn’t mean that the network is open to all and more importantly for all times to come as the DOD can put the ban up any time it has to. I personally don’t see the reason why they would want to keep a ban on any social activity, given the fact that they literally own all activity that these soldiers far and away do online? They have blocked all access to any porn site on their network and I bet keeping an eye on every individuals activity there wont be any big a trouble for them. In the meantime the soldiers can kill their loneliness while the ban isn’t there and feel a bit closer to their loved ones in some distant corner of the world.
What do you think about this decision? Do you think that this ban should be there for armed forces and such organizations? Do share your view point with us in comments.
