keep away from Wikileaks

Keep away from Wikileaks or you will loose the job.

This is the agenda adopted by US agencies towards its employees. If they read some classified State department documents released by wikileaks it can jeopardize their job standing.

 I think this step is taken in the interest from one prospective only and that prospective is to protect the interest of United states.Wikileaks has publishes many secret documents and that has become the bone of contention for the state authority .To control the viral leak which is spreading like wild fire such steps are being taken.I believe people of US who wants to go for security jobs will adhere to this declaration that is not following wikileaks.

Students have also been warned of not writing any views on the page of social network such as Twitter and Facebook.They have been advised not to follow such pages else it may prove hurdle in their chances in getting job.This is a technological battle according to me.It has been said that online medium will change the world and I think we can see that now happening.Following is one of the letters circulated to the student from student career department.

Dear students,

We received a call today from a SIPA alumnus who is working at the State Department. He asked us to pass along the following information to anyone who will be applying for jobs in the federal government, since all would require a background investigation and in some instances a security clearance.

The documents released during the past few months through Wikileaks are still considered classified documents. He recommends that you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter. Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government.

Everything will be scrutinized in US which site u have been tracking and particularly whether you have seen documents on wikileaks or not.The government will be really cautious now in hiring employees.Wikileaks is also being seen through the eye of web hacking.

There is always different dimension to regulate a country's work and US is trying its best to protect its rights.If I can sum it up this is the war between US Government and powerful form Media.
