When I worked security at Vanguard back in the late nineties it was a firing offense on the spot...employees were litera4tapped on the shoulder, told to get their personal belongings while escorted and promptly walked off campus if you were found watching pornography on your desktop or anywhere in the building. I don’t know why it should be any different in our federal government and quite frankly I don’t feel like paying for their porn.
Well, we sure can’t have military personnel looking at guns.
Incredible. SOP in most businesses is to ban this on company computers.
Our postal trucks are customized--we hired Xzibit Cents to PIMP our rides.
Believe me, I was surprised when I tried to access a well-known firearm seller's site (atlantic firearms) and saw that it was blocked by NMCI under the category "weapons".
It ain't your grandpa's military anymore these days, that's for sure.
Catching and permanently barring PORN ADDICTS from government service may well be the fastest way to DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Laz, buddy little did you know you just launched another Social Security Privatization effort with that image.
Schawb or Vanguard on line, indexes, ETF's and large percentages in T-Bills on line or on the phone with a handsome voiced Rep vs your image.....
I'll take the no-load investment house for 200 Alex...
This is exactly what they do. And they receive NJP when they are caught.
I would think its nearly impossible to get caught if you’re watching it on your phone with earbuds. Unless you do something really really stupid. Like watch it during a meeting) Or in a common area where someone can just walk up behind you unnoticed.
It is hard to believe that supposed professionals have such a lack of control and discipline, but I’ve seen it firsthand. I once caught someone watching it on their computer at work (after I left the service). He didn’t work for me so I didn’t turn him in. I asked him why not wait till he got home? He answer was that he needed to see it to get through the day. Addicts indeed.
They need a law for this? Fire them all. It is easy to see what has been going on with any computer. Just run its harddrive and you can see everything ever done. If more than a blip(possible pop up) than the person(s) should be fired. Theft of time has been used in many states as just reason and has been upheld.
Sessions doesn’t need warrants for federal computers...he just needs to be...Sessions. My bad.
No worries. I have a feeling everything is going to get tighter anyway, both because of having a real Justice Department, and as a result of the ever expanding military female photo scandals that began with Marines United.
In my view, violating existing (and long standing) Executive Branch rules about porn on work computers should be a fire-able offense. Cull the herd!
Aside from work inefficiencies, and ethical deficiencies, malware imbedded in images is a good way to get into another’s computer. There’s an OPSEC side to this too.
Any decent firewall makes it easy to block that sort of content.
Hussein Obama is sick. Pornography is like any other
addiction. It takes more and more of the drug to produce
the same high; and it takes more and WORSE forms of the
drug to produce a high. - The way out of it is to just
quit, STOP cold turkey & get busy doing something that’s
constructive. - The producers of this garbage are the
only ones getting rich off it. If you don’t watch it, they
will dump a load of this garbage on you depending on your
“search engine”; but YOU will be the one who lands in jail
IF they decide to “search” your computer for what YOU have
been looking up online.
Agree.
And although preventing access is a nice idea, there are always ways around it. For one thing, new sites appear daily that would not be on any banned list. A far better tactic is to fire anyone watching it. (Watching it is much different from inadvertently stumbling upon it. It’s quite easy to tell the difference when you look at someone’s internet history.)
Also, if these people are spending hours a day watching porn, how is it that no one notices they are not getting any work done? Another thing I would do when I find someone like this is immediately eliminate his job, because obviously he was not needed.
I’m continually amazed that folks are still doing this on their government computers, but I guess I should not be. The DoD has an explicit policy forbidding accessing porn and actually punishes folks. it seems the other parts of the Executive branch are not as serious about it.
The economics of advertising in the sidebars of YuckWho and other advertising sites will collapse.
Will the big internet companies be required to disclose the amount of revenue generated by these click-bait outfits?
CONGRESS IN PANIC
“Imagine, if you will, a 350 pound female Social Security worker helping you get a replacement Social Security card.
Nude.”
Yeah, and for an extra $1 she will laminate it press the clear pages together...nude.
Just how do they propose to stop this? Do they think a law will do it? Ha ha!
