Well, this is a typical link bait, peppered with the eerie "cold war" overtones. Let me clear up a few things.
Firstly, the proposal is covering specifically military and state employees. No one is going to shut down Gmail or Facebook countrywide. This is ridiculous.
Secondly, it's not a ban, but a request to develop a set of instructions on handling in-house data for the employees.
Thirdly, the proposal calls for encryption of all sensitive data sent over the internet.

A little less sensational, is it? :)
