College Students Warned to Not Talk About WikiLeaks on Facebook
Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili
Want to work for the federal government? Rule number one: don’t talk about WikiLeaks on Facebook. The U.S. State Department last week contacted Columbia University’s Office of Career Services, letting them know that by discussing confidential documents leaked to the whistle blowing site, they were hurting their chances of ever working for the federal government.
According to an e-mail circulated to students at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, a breeding ground for diplomats, posting about the leaked cables “would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information.” Despite the plethora of coverage regarding the leaked information, the information is “still considered classified.”
The Wall Street Journal confirmed the existence of the School of International and Public Affairs e-mail with a spokesman for the university.
