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?
