Facebook Crackdown

April 27, 2008 - 11:45 AM by

It was bound to happen. Social networking is zooming at light speed and with it comes the 1st of its kind Israeli army crackdown:

Blogger Forecast Highs reports that an Israeli soldier serving in an upper level army intelligence unit within the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was sentenced to 19 days in prison for uploading images to Facebook.

The IDF would not comment on the exact nature of the photograph, but said the punishment was in proportion to the committed offense. Military sources said an IDF directive prohibits photography on bases without official approval.

The sources said the soldier in question would be punished for taking pictures on a military base without permission.

The IDF’s field intelligence unit classifies photographs depicting advanced weapons, weapons storage, training with weapons, the interior of bases as well as their external layout, declaring the name and number unit a soldier is serving in, especially relating to sensitive units, and much more as “classified material.”
