FG PAO reserves the right to remove comments containing: profanity; sexual innuendo; violation of U.S. laws and/or DoD and service-specific policies and regulations (copyright, HIPAA, Privacy Act, OPSEC, etc.); commercial activity (ie: advertising or "spam"); implied military endorsement of a commercial product; political party, or private organization; abusive language; personal attacks; disruptive off-topic posting; or comments prejudicial to maintenance of good order and discipline. Repeated violations of this policy may result in action to block users from commenting on the site. MONITORING PUBLIC USE OF THIS SITE:
This site, and comments to this site, are monitored by FG PAO staff. Additionally, the Army Web Risk Assessment Cell includes external official presences (EOPs) in its regular rotation of sites monitored for compliance with security requirements or signs of fraudulent or objectionable use. A list of registered Army external official presences is available at: http://www.army.mil/media/socialmedia/. PHOTOS:
Typically, photos on our site are official photos, taken by FG public affairs or visual information personnel while documenting events on FG and cleared for release to the public. Content is reviewed to ensure OPSEC or sensitive information is not disclosed, including any violations of personal privacy or protected personal information. Non-official photography on FG is normally restricted, but is permitted for newsgathering activity (when accompanied by a PAO es**rt). Other requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. There is no legal expectation of privacy in public spaces, where most official photography takes place. If you have concerns about a particular photo - or any other information posted to this site - please contact us to discuss your concerns.
