Army Tears Down the Cyber Wall: Facebook, Twitter, Flickr No Longer Blocked
By John
This could be the most logical shit I've heard in a while -- "These are sites that soldiers are encouraged to use to get the Army message out. The Army has a presence on these sites. ... There is no reason to block them"
Being a blue-suiter, it's always a little shocking to hear of military units snubbing the safer path in favor of what's best for the service. I'm just not used to it. Here's hoping that the Air Force figures out what everyone already knows. Crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath. Danger Room had the original scoop.

We'll see how it actually gets executed at the individual level ... remember that "local commanders" can always be more restrictive.
More to the point, we'll see how everyone reacts the minute the 1st guy screws up ... anyone remember the thumb drive incident?

I think it was pretty embarrassing for the Army to block these services. It made the Army look like the Iranian and Chinese governments!
