When Jeremiah Owyang blogged about the American Red Cross' use of social media during the midwest floods, I found it ironic that the American Red Cross National Headquarters doesn't allow staff access to many of the internet's social media tools.
Now, it appears Congress is also concerned about access to social media by some of it's members.
Aaron Brazell on Technosailor has several posts on how the U.S. Congress is trying to keep members from using social media: Congress Trying to ban Twitter and Other Social Media Use by Representatives.
Here is a great video of Andrew Feinberg's interview with Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) on this issue.
Mark Hopkins is also following this story on Mashable: Congressional Democrats Aim to Censor Twitter and Qik.
