The gagging order followed a series of trenchant comments made by Daniel Seaman, who recently took up the post of head of Israeli public diplomacy on the internet, over the past few months. Seaman was known for his abrasive approach to the foreign media when he was director of the government press office. Among his initiatives in his new role is a program to pay university students to post pro-Israel comments on Facebook, Twitter and other internet sites and forums. |
