Ways You Might Be Breaking the Law (With Your Tech)

For example, companies are starting to reign in their tweeters and bloggers to make sure they don't reveal sensitive corporate information without the proper disclaimers required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Maybe the government should clamp down on itself, too, after Representative Peter Hoekstra tweeted all the details of what was supposed to be a top-secret Congressional visit to Iraq in February.
