DOD officials release policy for responsible, effective use of Internet-based capabilities

February 26th, 2010
Department of Defense officials released a policy memorandum Feb. 26 regarding the safe and effective use of Internet-based capabilities, including social networking services and other interactive Web 2.0 applications.

The memorandum makes it policy that the DOD non-classified network be configured to provide access to Internet-based capabilities across all DOD components.

Commanders at all levels and heads of DOD components will continue to defend against malicious activity on military information networks; deny access to prohibited content sites such as gambling, pornography and hate-crime related activities; and take immediate and commensurate actions, as required, to safeguard missions such as temporarily limiting access to the Internet to preserve operations security or to address bandwidth constraints.
