Porn Problems Still Present: Now With Video Evidence!

Wednesday February 03, 2010

Many people believed that with the advent of effective web filtering, workplace porn was a problem that had gone away. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case for one unfortunate Australian bank.

Video footage which is currently flying round the Internet shows a banker calmly flicking through x-rated photographs as his colleague is interviewed on live TV. Apparently a copy of the bank's Acceptable Use Policy has been emailed to all employees, reminding them of the rules.

SmoothWall recommend that even in situations where blocking any websites is deemed unsuitable, monitoring can be a reasonable substitute. I'm sure many people would agree that they'd rather inappropriate surfing be noticed and dealt with before it makes such great TV!

More information can be found on BBC news
The interview footage itself is also available on YouTube
