Wired.com has just posted a story detailing the Army's new order to unblock and unfilter web access to social media platforms on government computers and networks. This marks the first policy statement that looks to grant access universally to all soldiers. It is a sharp departure from the Air Force posture on computer access. Stories about restricted network access, email firewalls, thumb drive prohibiitions have caused a general perception with the public that the service does not trust its' members with these sorts of sites with goverment resources. Undoubtedly, some sort of Army doctrine of engagement is soon to follow. Should be interesting to see if the other services follow suit or if they hold their ground. Surely a topic that will be debated now and in the future.
