HALIFAX — Cpl. Bloggins can kiss that unfettered blog goodbye.
The country’s top soldier, Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier, has ordered ordinary Joes in uniform to check with their superiors before posting information on the Internet.
A Canadian Forces general order issued this month indicates troops, “particularly those deployed on operations,” have recently placed a “considerable” amount of information on the web.
Besides weblogs, military personnel have sent commentaries via e-mail and uploaded still and video imagery of their missions.
“(Canadian Forces) members are to consult with their chain of command before publishing CF-related information and imagery to the Internet, regardless of how innocuous the information may seem,” says Hillier’s order.
