    Default Well...What is DOD up to this time around?

    Facebook, youtube and other websites that were a huge NO NO in the past on government computers, are open for our viewing pleasure...Now i know damn well that they didn't remove the site blockers just because they are nice people and want us to be happy, so it has everyone at MacDill wondering...WTF is going on here???

    They realized that they can monitor your personal activities easier that way. They find out your hobbies, interests, etc.

    ...or maybe they're trying to make cuts and if it is against policy to visit those sites at work........you break policy, you're gone, no unemployment because you were fired for breaking policy not performance.

    or maybe I'm wayyy off.......just thoughts

    Maybe more along the lines of, now they can see if you're posting OPSEC related stuff online? Easier for them to see if it's passing through their interwebz.

    1) there's no point in blocking such sites, if someone is going to post classified information on facebook they are just as likely to do so from home.
    2) It's a huge moral boost in exchange for very little network load
    3) once you've logged in they can't see you're traffic anymore since it's encrypted using ssl. Sure there are ways but I doubt they care, I know we didn't when I was in the NOC.
    When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
