The Department of Defense has
banned troop access to MySpace, YouTube and eleven other popular websites, including Photobucket and Pandora Radio. Their reason? The DOD
doesn't have enough bandwidth to meet demand, though at least one
message (pdf) to troops suggests that security concerns were also part of the decision. The DOD has also been working to crack down on troop blog posts and e-mail that hasn't been approved by a commanding officer first, notes
Wired News (see the new
blogging rules pdf).
