The US Department of Defense blocks access to YouTube, MySpace, MTV, Metacafe, iFilm and other sites ...
The US Department of Defense will block access to MySpace , YouTube and some other sites from computers belonging to the ministry around the world, starting today.
Blocking access is an attempt to unload network resources and improve the quality of its work. Troops and their families located in US bases will be able to access blocked sites using personal Internet connections, but those who are located at other bases around the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan, will not have access to them. Unfortunately, these services are used by the majority of the military for contacting their relatives and friends. Officials have been discussing this list since the beginning of February, and insist that blocking these sites is by no means their dislike for these resources, but is only a matter of offloading networks. The ministry probably has a good general opinion about YouTube and MySpace , because they use these sites in order to present a wide audience of reports about the military operations of US troops.
Although we have not seen the list of blocked sites, it is safe to say that most of them are sites that provide video hosting services, because These sites consume the most resources on the web. There are, of course, other ways to keep in touch with your friends and family using other Internet capabilities, and we hope that blocking access to sites that consume most of network resources will lead to the desired result, and the list of these sites will be due to this is small.

Recall also that recently in Ontario, government employees have blocked access to the Facebook site.
