The battle between the use of social networking tools and the military is really starting to heat up. Last week, while I was on my little hiatus, Peter posted a Danger Room story on the Pentagon looking into an all out ban on the use of social media tools/sites such as Twitter and Facebook, among other. This would seem a 180 degrees from previous reports that DoD services, such as that of the Army, were looking to open up it’s networks to the famed social sites with seemingly 100% access. And the mix of these two stories is where it starts to really get weird.
Yesterday David Axe, writing on Danger Room, notes that the Pentagon’s own “Social Media Czar” is continuing to push for a Web 2.0 presence spite the threat of an all out ban on his own turf. And then early this morning Danger Room, yet again, throws us all a huge curveball announcing that the U.S. Marine Corps has, effective immediately, “banned Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other social media sites from its networks.” No doubt citing these service’s as security threats. As of now this specific ban is only to last for a year.
