IAVA's Patrick Campbell on the Marine Corps' Decision to Ban Social Media Sites

On August 5th, IAVA's Chief Legislative Counsel Patrick Campbell sat down for this interview to discuss the recent Marine Corps ban on social media websites, including Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, among others. According to a Marine Corps order posted Monday, the ban was enacted in response to security concerns. These internet sites in general are a proven haven for malicious actors and content and are particularly high risk due to information exposure, user generated content and targeting by adversaries, the order said. Critics question how this will affected deployed Marines, and how it will ultimately be enforced.

Do we all understand what this is really about??? When the horror starts here they don't want our military to know what they are doing to We the People they took oaths to protect. They are trying to divide us!

Not for long anyway. Hmmm...I wonder if they consider youtube a social networking site...I'm willing to bet they do.

I don't understand why this is news... Is the ban only saying that you cant get to Facebook from a DoD computer? Cuz when I was in Iraq at Balad AB last summer I couldn't get to Facebook from any DoD computers.... I had to go to MWR...

Typical MSNBC. This cunt Tamron and her smirky douche of a colleague don't tell you they can still send e-mail and have video interaction.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES FACEBOOK HAVE TO DO WITH INTERACTION?

Dman, I hate this news network. Tod Bauers can send an e-mail message to say he's alive.
