The company I currently work for uses Symantec Cyber Security. After giving up the Drudge Report, I started using Liberty Net Daily. This Friday (LND) was blocked (Drudge is not). When asked why, they gave some BS activism response. To their biasing credit, they also banned DU.
For the last several years I don't log into FreeRepublic from work computers but lurk all day long. Just wondering how long it will be until we come up on the list and does anyone have a plan for if it does?
Wait... what?
I thought is was a *215* minute break.
That would answer some questions.
It’s different if one is union. :)
Yours is a question, not an opus, semi or otherwise. ;) If you ever decide to write an opus, Libbylu’s should be easy to find. Hers is classic.
Ah, okay (breathes sigh of relief).
I’ve logged into FR from every job I’ve had. Guess it really depends on the work place. How much do you think they pay attention? I’ve been in small companies where they don’t pay attention cause we’re all friends. And I’m currently in a big company where they don’t care cause there’s 10,000 of us scattered all over the world. Also my desktop isn’t on the corporate domain but in a test environment, so I do gain a little extra anonymity. I’ve got friends at work who VPN into their home desktop and do “questionable” (by corporate standards) things from there. I think that’s part of why they dropped the ESPN block, somewhere along the lines they figured out that when you hire smart people they’re gonna do what they want and you can’t actually stop them.
Yes. Most companies, at least the ones with competent IT dept., set up proxy servers for outbound traffic. A black list is defined with verboten addresses e.g. porn. Or anything else “they” wish to limit. If you want free reign you can use your own damn equipment and pipe.
I got no problem with that.
😂
Feedwater?
They must have so far.
Someone I know who worked for Motorola said a guy there got canned for logging into some “adult” site with his work computer from home (so he was on his own network away from their filters). But when he plugged back in to the company network the system detected the cookies.
It’s amazing how much porn is on work computers of the world. Friend of mine used to do DB reconstruction for Intuit, actually digging in with a hex editor playing with the raw data. Most corrupted DBs had porn in them.
