Touchy topic, the crackdown on military blogging.
My view on this is somewhat controversial, too. There was a similar crackdown on milblogging in the U.S. If the Department of Defense believes milblogging is a security risk, it should restrict blogging. If blogging and social media sites are clogging up the works, then such activity should be reduced or eliminated on military computers.
I talked about the crackdown on TV back in May.

“You might remember a couple of months ago Blackfive put on an email campaign requesting emails of support for Marine RCT 6 (Regimental Combat Team 6). They managed to get over 20,000 emails. I was so impressed with Blackfive’s efforts…I’ve been in contact with the PAO at 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division and they said they could definitely use the letters.”
