US Army Block MySpace and YouTube

It appears thats the US Army is blocking access to site like YouTube and MySpace, reason being that it hogs bandwidth and it is a threat to the army security if any important data leaks, which is yet to be seen or hear of.
I find this ironic, considering the fact that US is the champion of freedom of speech, on top of that military personal uses these site to keep in touch with their friends and relatives, cutting off them is like cutting off their oxygen, sure there is always email, but email don’t provide the same service.
Army Times has this to say:
“This is as much an information war as it is bombs and bullets,” he said. “And they are muzzling their best voices.”
MySpace and YouTube are not the only victims, other sites covered by the ban are the video-sharing sites Metacafe, IFilm, StupidVideos, and FileCabi, the social networking sites BlackPlanet and Hi5, music sites Pandora, MTV, and 1.fm, and live365, and the photo-sharing site Photobucket.
What happen to sites like Friendster or Flickr?

on May 15th, 2007Banning live365.com? How ridiculous is that! This is just an internet radio station–the best one around. It provides just entertainment and comfort. There is no political or any other kind of commentary on this site. Just music. Definitely no “security challenge.” Possibly some bandwidth issues, but I think this website has been lumped in with the others in a mindless, nonsensical way.
Internet radio is already under assault by music industry forces that want to tax it out of existence to protect their bottom line, and this is just one more action that attacks our freedom to listen to music online.
That being said, I support the effort to combat the very real threat of global terrorism, and want our soldiers to have access to at least this music website to help allieviate the stresses they are experiencing in this struggle.
