59. Social media benefits
trump security fears
• Researchers warn that if the government distances itself from Twitter and
Facebook, Web 2.0 ignorance could pose its own security threat and hinder
Department of Defense communication, efficiency and community-building
efforts.
• “Some of the best lesson-learned sharing, the best idea generation has come from
military people using social media to talk to each other,” said Dr. James Jay
Carafano, a senior research fellow who studies national and homeland security
issues at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
• “To keep our public diplomacy relevant today, we have to reach out and connect
with people on their terms, whether we use blogs or texts—or tweets,” Graffy
wrote.
