Article/Blog #5: AP: IDF Sees Facebook Threat

Link to Article

I’m starting to feel like my articles are sidetracking me.  I really did enjoy the American Muslim Women video on MuslimChannels.tv because it opened up my eyes to a different rationale.  BUT, nonetheless, I need to focus on the objective at hand:  My Fulbright Application.

So this article from the AP has been reposted on Tzvee’s Talmudic Blog.  The author is from Jersey and describes himself as Liberal in the tag line.  Reading about him, he is a professor who’s taught all over and is now a consultant.  Lets read the article and then see if he puts any spin to it.

The original article was titled Israeli Army Puts Limits on Facebook

• Defense Officials have a new list of rules that prevent soldiers and defense ministry employees from revealing classified information.
• In the past, soldiers have uploaded pictures of classified equipment which can reveal sensitive information.
• The rules do not entirely restrict soldiers from participating but they are not allowed to identify themselves as soldiers or reveal information about what they do.
• The rules have not been officially published.

I would really really like to see these rules and find out what soldiers opinions are on these rules.  Do they trust the government has their best interest or do they feel like the government is restricting them too much?

I  can’t really find anything else with a quick google search.  Note to self:  google in a few weeks and ask Israeli friends.
