The title is misleading and false to some extent.
We had this debate when the new just broke a few months ago and many people simply assumed that public servants cannot surf Internet during work. This is not true, and it was pointed in the article as well:
> Public servants would still be able to surf the web but only on separate personal or agency-issued devices.
- toyg 10y ago> separate personal or agency-issued devices. Which, for budgetary reasons I'm sure, will probably end up rationed and shared. For The Powers That Be, this will mean less machines to track for potential dissent-related activities, activities which will likely self-curtail anyway because of reduced privacy while using such machines; but that's just an unfortunate side-effect, I'm sure.
- Steko 10y agoMy company did the same thing recently, the general consensus seems to be that it was entirely security driven. Old internet is locked down to a bunch of whitelisted sites (before this it used a blacklisted gaming/nsfw sites) and they put in a new private wifi you can do mostly whatever you want on and they setup some terminals for people without their own devices.
- dang 10y agoWe've changed the title above for that reason.
