From Danger Room:

In late January, the Air Force banned TogetherWeServed.com, a military-themed social networking site, for being a security “nightmare.”  Now, Air Force officials are admitting “to unfairly singling out” the site, which “does not pose any extra risk than most chat rooms or other online communities,” Stars & Stripes’ Leo Shane reports. “Site owners said the retraction may have come too late to help their online business.”

As the military continues to struggle with social media, a familiar pattern has emerged: Sites are initially labeled as sieves for secrets; then, after further inspection, those early assessments are often turned on their heads.
