AHOY, this link must not have died so i'll make it right. It dose not so on SP site that I can tell, not on home page at all or with discussion board link. INFORMATION WARFARE: YouTube Died That We May Fight March 20, 2011: Shortly after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster hit Japan on March 11th, American military commanders in Japan blocked Internet access (for American troops in Japan using the military net) to web sites that provide a lot of video. The reason for the temporary block was to provide maximum Internet access, via the military satellite system, for rescue and recovery operations in Japan. Military users are all told, early and often, that access to high bandwidth sites (like YouTube) may be blocked if there is a military emergency, so that there will be maximum transmission capacity (bandwidth) for military operations. In an emergency, or during combat operations, the military streams lots of video (from UAVs, aircraft and ground and sea units), and usually has to ration even purely military transmission of high density content (video, for the most part, but there are often other items, like databases and highly detailed maps and still images, being sent around.) Blocking high bandwidth sites has become commonplace in the past decade, as the U.S. military obtained more Internet access via satellite. At first, there was no thought of allowing troops to use this Internet access for anything but work related functions. But it was discovered that even a little access (for, say, email without attachments) was a big morale boost. So it became customary to allow the troops to use the military bandwidth, when not needed for military purposes. On ships at sea, this still did not allow for a lot of heavy use (streaming video and large file downloads), but it meant you could view pictures and do some shopping, and is very popular. Usually, email (without attachments) is always available. "I well bet my lucky star" IKYG G-day!

AHOY,

IMO if those running things wish to improve bandwidth etc. they could start by not allowing idiots and suto i.e. software filibuster  fake members or posters tactics to post the same video under a thousand different titles. The systems software could I.D. the same images and or files and block them if they wanted. 

And yeah "Youtube" used for military traffic, if need be, LOL like that's not the back channel now.  

I got a kick out of the sheep excepting that crewman's home video as he or she leaned against the porthole of the helo over the reactors and IMO the person was told don't worry about what you get we well be editing out any useful info just keep it moving so we don't have to do to much work on blurring it. LOL, LOL.

WHAT ABOUT THE MOUNTED MULTI SENSOR ON THE HELO RECORDING THE "ACTUAL KINGS TRUTH".

AHOY,

About the suto comment; LOL, LOL, its hell not being able to spell, hear very well and being dislexic, LOL

Heres what was reported on Democracy now 3/17/11. And what I was trying to relate.

U.S. Develops Social Media Propaganda Software


The Pentagon is developing software to secretly influence social media by developing fake online personas that can sway internet chatting on comment boards to reflect U.S. government propaganda. The Guardianof London reports a California-based firm has won a contract to create an "online persona management service" that would let military personnel control up to 10 separate fake identities at once. The identities would be used to respond to relevant online content with blog posts, tweets, chat comments and other forms of interaction. A military spokesperson said foreign audiences would be targeted, as it would be illegal to use the technology on U.S. citizens.
