US defense personnel will be allowed to use social media such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, following a review of Internet security by the Pentagon. Sites that were blocked in 2007, such as You Tube, will be unblocked.
Commanders will have the ability to locally block the Web sites, however, in cases where missions are being safeguarded or bandwidth has to be saved. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said social media could be used to communicate with troops.
