What the hell?
Where my wife works she cannot even look at my work web site. She manages the hospital’s facebook page. And once a quarter, she has to get the IT group to allow her to get on the page because they reset the access.
Does the government even use access limiting software on their networks?
They are so 1999.
I hear you. Evidently many of these agencies don’t use it and the one that ticks me off the most is the EPA.
It seems they work overtime to screw up people lives and individual rights and watch a lot of porn while doing it.
About a decade ago, software came out where you could limit folks. At the time...they could pick various areas to forbid folks, and the big hit on day one was Ebay (you couldn’t cruise there any more). About every six months, they’d add more news sites to the forbidden area...and Fox news was one of those they stumble into...got complaints and brought it back to ‘ok’.
Two years ago, I was in a gov’t organization that was going to put Facebook on the forbidden sites, and that raised a big discussion.
Personally, I think we ought to analyze the job description of people within the gov’t and just give most average folks one hour of play-time a day. Beyond that....the sites on your job description better be necessary or we dock your pay for each hour wasted.
I can remember how it was in the 1980s with almost no computers being used, and we seemed to do OK without them.
