Don't take your iPhone

Today's New York Times has this story about proposed legislation that would subject Russian military personnel to disciplinary action for using social media and personal tech in ways that compromise operational security. Excerpt:
Draft legislation proposes banning servicemen and reserve troops from posting anything online that would allow outsiders to glean their whereabouts or role in the military.

The bill, which was approved by lawmakers in its second of three readings in parliament on Tuesday, says the ban would cover photographs, video, geolocation data or other information.

It would also prohibit soldiers sharing information about other servicemen or the relatives of servicemen, while those who break the ban would be subject to disciplinary measures.
Good luck with that.
