Did you know it has been recognised that the risks and benefits of social media use in the armed forces need to be identified by senior staff and policymakers, to develop effective guidance and secure best practice?

Furthermore, Richard Cole, Director at I3 Gen, who will be chairing the conference, recently explained on social media via a Twitter post on July 3 that we should treat social media like a weapon. He emphasized the importance of learning how to use it safely and provide training, as well as the importance of trusting people to use it responsibly, he also detailed how to take action against improper use.
