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.

LOL. It has always struggled to keep up. And that is mostly a good thing. If it were the other way around, that would be awful.
No. You weren’t gossiping or sneering. I just tend to think
that most people take joy & pleasure in the downfall of
others rather than seeking the good of everyone. - We look
at “mugshots” of people &, of course, they look totally
gobsmacked and guilty with little or no possibility of help
to come from any quarter. - I’d advise anyone to be very
careful of who they allow to use their personal computers;
because there’s no way to control what someone else chooses
to download on your computer. Also, just because someone
levels “accusations” against someone else or because they
have the bad luck to be kin to someone proven to be guilty
of criminal behavior does not automatically guarantee open
season on them. (Sometimes, a marital partner has been
known to actually use chidren to join in leveling false
charges. Innocent ‘til proven guilty in a court of law is
ideal.
Ok, good.
Yes, I do understand that others could use your wifi (if they could get in) and plant bad things.
