I found a pretty interesting article about some of the effects WikiLeaks has had. This one talks about a ban on all removable media by the US military on its soldiers. That means no CDs, no flashdrives, or anything else similar can be used while they are at work-- if a soldier is found in violation of this ban they are facing court marshalling. The article is pretty interesting, and the topic of WikiLeaks opens up a wide debate as to where the line of media regulation should be drawn, especially in terms of national security.

Like a Little?
Have you heard of that website likealittle.com? The BSU campus has a forum of its own, and it allows people to anonymously submit posts about people around campus. I find this site to be extremely disturbing.. it takes online stalking to an entirely new level. People are able to post anything about someone they might find attractive, or might want to get to know better, and then other users comment back in forth trying to figure out who the person is, what their name is.. and sometimes what dorm room they might live in.
Does anyone else agree that this site is taking "networking" a little to far?
