No Drudge for you !!!
The TSA to filter 'opiniated' web content...
Oh no gaming either :haha: Frankly I want to know why there browsing drudge or penthouse or whatever with goverment machines to begin with. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_16...-10391695.html |
This thread is being watched and censured. :stare:

Is that what government "workers" do all day? |
Those poor TSA employees, they won't be able to see the Zombies thread anymore. :cry:
|
They shouldn't need the net, period. Since determining what opinion is "controversial" is BS, they should have no web access at all, or perhaps a specific allowed set of sites useful for work.
|
So is this the end of subsim then?
No more SH 5 threads:haha: |
Can someone tell me what the problem is with this? They're blocking TSA employees from controversial websites, but employment under TSA is a voluntary condition; how is that any different from any entity where employees work under voluntary conditions blocking websites from its employees? Personally, I think the TSA is comprised primarily of layabouts who do little to enhance national security, and since my tax dollars pay for them, I would like to see their on-duty online access restricted to relevant things.

Back in the 90's we used to hear about every six months where some govie used his government computer to look at porn during work hours.
How dumb can you be. They tell you that everything is monitored and recorded. :nope: |
I don't care about internet use being constrained at any workplace in general, and in fact would rather have them, you know, doing their jobs.
That said, if they pass rules for net usage that allow SOME political content, but not other political content, then it's wrong IF THE EMPLOYER IS THE GOVERNMENT. That last bit is critical. If, as your PRIVATE employer, I only allow you to read Fox News, that's fine by me (or only listen to Pacifica, say, for you commies out there). The State doing that, however, is unconstitutional. Ban it altogether, no problem, ban SOME thoughts... nah. |
Equal opportunity Censorship LOL TSA has a habbit of being controversial to the left and right so its not surprising that TSA just blocks the whole deal. They likely learned much from China. TSA Freaks.
|
Makes sense to me. Keep them in a line and doing their jobs. Anything controversial can be viewed after the shift is over. The TSA is there to protect, not have fun on the web.
With that said... Bona na croin!! :DL |

Strange, porn did not make the list. :D Although there are some porn sites that involve controversial opinions, criminal activity, extreme violence, and gruesome content. :oops: uh A friend told me about them. :oops: |
