Army Regulation 530-1 - The War on Military Blogs

As of April 19, 2007, the US Army has imposed new, strict limitations on soldier's blogs and e-mail.
All members of the Army must now get prior approval from a supervisor, and this regulation also includes soldier's family members as well as civilian contractors.

According to Danger Room:

The 2005 regulation, created from minor revisions made to the 1995 regulation, made brief additions to the regulation, specifically to address new technology such as e-mail, Web sites, and blogs, but carried over most of the regulations from 1995. The 2007 regulation is a major revision and provides significant updates in the areas of responsibilities, policy and procedures, and training requirements. It updates and clarifies individual as well as unit/organizational responsibilities. It emphasizes that in addition to Soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians, contractors, and U.S. Army Families must be included in practicing operational security. The 2007 regulation also provides updated guidance how to establish OPSEC programs for units and organizations as well as updated training requirements.
