The Trump administration has made life miserable for yet another special-interest group: Porn-watching perverts "working" at federal agencies
A House committee on oversight has approved prohibiting federal employees from using government computers and devices to watch pornography on the job.
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee unanimously approved House Resolution 680, entitled the “Eliminating Pornography from Agencies Act.”
The legislation, sponsored by Congressman Mark Meadows (R-North Carolina), would require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue new guidelines within 90 days to “prohibit the access of a pornographic or other explicit web site from a Federal computer.”
Rep. Meadows has been trying to get this legislation through three times, given all the disgusting stories he's heard of federal employees spending their working hours looking at filth on the Internet instead of doing their work and answering citizen phone calls. What's more, these one-hand losers can't even be fired. With President Trump now in office, apparently, the political atmosphere has improved and the bill is moving through for another try.
Those in favor cited the theft of time and the hostile work environment for women. Those are perfectly valid reasons. But there probably are more.
Porn is a favorite means of hackers to draw clicks for assorted phishing expeditions to steal data. It was just such a phishing expedition, albeit not from porn, that enabled some sort of hackers to expose the emails of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, which has led to countless brouhahas still not spent out even today.

Words fail me, ping.
Hopefully Sessions gets search warrants on those that try to oppose this restriction.
I would have assumed watching porn on government computers was already prohibited...
Silly me....
Ya think? It’s appalling this even needs to be addressed.
How is this even 0.000000001% controversial?
Well THAT’S IT for ME! I *refuse* to work there, not after this AFFRONT TO MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS!
I am the founding member of FEMP: Federal Employees for Mandatory Porn.
DON’T YOU OPPRESS US!
Podesta is really going to be pissed when they discover his kiddie porn sites.
We at FEMP will fight such a search warrant in the 9th Circuit Court, AND WE WILL WIN!
It’s no doubt possible to overcome some computer protocol, but at my job the boys downstairs must have some alarm that goes off if someone accesses a porn site. We have had people fired for watching pornography at work.
While we at FEMP (Federal Employees for Mandatory Porn) advocate for porn movie loops playing where citizens are waiting in line, we do take a dark view of kiddie porn.
I would have assumed watching porn on government computers was already prohibited...
Silly me....

Exactly. What’s next? An order that prohibits nudity on the job site?
from using government computers and devices to watch pornography on the job.
But a lot of these people will just start watching porn on their mobile device or tablet (if they are not already doing so). Once again, technology outpaces the law.
Honestly, I think I'd rather they look at porn.
If you tried this at a private company, you’d probably be fired, unless someone has already filed an ACLU backed lawsuit.
This is just the sort of PHILISTINE, UNCULTIVATED attitude we at FEMP are fighting against!
Ditto.
We have had people fired for watching pornography at work.
Well, we at FEMP do advocate for Civil Service Nudity.
Imagine, if you will, a 350 pound female Social Security worker helping you get a replacement Social Security card.
Nude.
