Interesting....
So all military members in Canada got released a CANFORGEN stating they they have to remove all times relating themselves to the military off of social networking sites like Facebook. Their reason for this? Because apparently Al Quida is now researching who is in the military and then using the people closest to them, again them.

For example, let say an US Army soldier posted on his blog saying that his company will soon move to Samara. If I am an insurgent, I will want to know more about what is the role of his unit because, by doing so, I will know what the US Army is up to.
My ex works for the VPD and it was "recommended" that he delete his accounts on all forums, profile pages, etc.
I honestly don't know how I could do it...especially networking on Facebook for projects, etc. It would be difficult.
First of all, there are documentaries and TV shows on weapons and vehicles CURRENTLY IN USE by our military. Would you see a documentary being made about the Allies' Sherman Tank in WWII, where it would describe how their main gun sucks so badly that the shells would bounce off the German's Panzer like a ping pong ball? There are also documetaries made about weapons currently in development, such as the future warrior system. If I work of the Chinese or Iranian, I will get all the information I can get my hands on from the internet and discover the weakness of these new systems.
Second, some military personnels themselves are divulging military intelligence onto the internet. These informations can be quite handy for insurgents. Did you know that, back in WWI, there was a (very hot) female German spy in Paris called Mata Hari who would get valuable military intelligence out of drunken Triple Entente officers on R&R while in make out sessions?
What I am saying is that keeping secrets is beneficial and that certain things should not be made public while a war is in progress.
That's a shocker!
It was more for covering his ass from pictures he had up...which is a stupid move in and of itself.
A guy I know works for the police in Edmonton, and during the Stanley Cup Riot on Whyte Ave he took pictures of girls flashing a surveillance camera he had...then he posted it on MySpace.
Fired from the RCMP anywhere in Canada ;) Serves him right, but that's all thanks to stupidity and networking sites!
That's what I was told, but you seem to have more knowledge in that area. Heard from a friend and not from his mouth, but sketchy why he'd work in the auto industry instead if that was the case.
They have some mad volunteer pre-reqs.
