Marines Ban "Selected" Websites....

This has been happening since 2004. I have tried to explain this to this guy, but he refuses to acknowledge it. Blogs, streaming video sites, porn sites, and civilian e-mail sites such as hotmail are unauthorized due to bandwidth complications, viruses, and intelligence leaks. President Obama has done nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, this is a military decision.

They also cannot bring their cell phones across the ocean either because they are not secure and they risk giving away positions. If he is going to complain about security considerations as a way of "controlling" or "censoring" or "isolating" our troops then surely he would go as far as to criticize the denial of cell phones as well for the same reason.

All he's doing is political bashing and using the troops to do it. It pisses me off because it ultimately places the military in the spotlight for nothing.

Look Sarge,,,I work for a Defense Corp that sets up Networks aboard Some of our ships. So I have some background on Secure Networks...:roll: Agreed,,,there are real concerns in certain aspects of the Internet. What I'm against is the Mandatory Censorship set in place. There's easy enough ways to make sure you have an isolated Network set up strictly indendent of the Military Network...

I support the Troops. And,,,Freedom.

You have yet to show where "censorship" is the issue. Just what is it about the world is being kept from the troop by banning twitter?

Look Sarge, since you've shown yourself incapable of holding a conversation without "Censoring" my Lines, on Censorship,,, we'll agree to disagree.:roll:

Fare well.

I'm having too much fun with you. Well, you appear to continue to be in the dark on what the meaning of "censorship" is, which is why you seem to keep using this word erroniously in regards to Internet security overseas (and in CONUS?).

Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the government or media organizations as determined by a censor.Censorship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since everything you write is clearly preserved within your posts, how are you being censored? Simply because I choose to respond to the pertinent parts inside your ramblings, doesn't mean censorship of any kind. With this being said, how is "censorship" affecting what you have written and what the troops have to do in order to ensure greater security in their networks? Since everybody can read what you write and any troop can find out any kind of information he wants by other means...where is the "censorship?"

Balls in your court again. It's a game you started.
