Israeli Army Gets Tough on Facebook Users

Posted Apr 11, 08 5:52 PM CDT in Technology World 

(Newser) – Israel is taking steps to neutralize its newest security threat: Facebook. The army is tightening rules on what soldiers can and can't post on the social-networking site, the BBC reports. Apparently, some were putting up photos of themselves posing with top-secret weaponry. "Most of the soldiers don't understand how much damage it may cause," said one Air Force official.
