How does Rallypoint ensure OPSEC?

How does Rallypoint protect US interests and subscribed service members from threat actors seeking to use this forum to passively and actively collect information on us?

you don't talk about up coming ops or deployments on RP just like any other social site

As you must already know, it's up to each individual to manage any potential OPSEC threat on themselves by controlling what they post.

If it can be used against any individual including yourself - "do not post". As well would recommend tweaking profile info especially if active.

While RP does have admins for the most part it is self policed. If you see something that looks like a problem report the post to admins so it can either be removed or edited.

It doesn’t
That is your job

If you post it publicly you should assume foreign actors (your boss, your ex, your wife, your kids, the IRS ,
ect) will see it

If you dont want them to, please don’t post it

Well, I would say that it is the responsibility of the poster, and the cops are your fellow community members, not the site itself.
I have seen some pretty interesting things posted on here. Tales of secret military facilities and operations.
Name of the "whistleblower".
Opinions of how we should proceed tactically against ISIS or in Syria.
Vigorous back and fourths about Russian efforts at propaganda and disinformation - analysis that I myself have had to be mindful of what insights I post.
Having said all that, I have seen the community be pretty adept at calling out people that go off the reservation.

Well, as a former super secret squirrel (I have an upcoming book where I reveal all kinds of secrets - be sure to buy!) I can tell you that all of these posts are actually monitored by the CIA and a few of the more egregious posters have been visited by men in black vans. I can't say more than that, but..... Well..... We've got it covered!

SPC Private RallyPoint Member What would we possibly do if the PRC or ISIS figured out there was no way to reenlist with a RE Code 4 on their 214? Or if they knew what you do about a family care plan? Or how to get command sponsorship with an EFMP family member? Or my first line supervisor doesn't know how BAH works?

It is not RP's responsibility to monitor OPSEC. It is the responsibility of each member to control their comments. I know this is strange in the millennial and post millennial online word vomit culture.

RP does establish rules for its member to follow. Here's is an example of one that controls what people see: http://support.rallypoint.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2023641-how-do-i-manage-my-privacy-settings-who-can-see-my-profile-?b_id=4766

Members police each other and send sensitive topics to an offline discussion between the person who needs the info to the person with an answer, on the appropriate network.

Members post their information. RP does not publish anything the member doesn't put in.

There is much more incisive stuff on other social media platforms.

How do I manage my privacy settings? Who...

RallyPoint allows you full control over who sees your profile, and even who sees specific sections of your profile.NOT...
