- paulryanrogers 7y agoHow common is this? At the smaller companies I've worked for the only filtering was of the big, distracting sites like Facebook.
- mrkstu 7y agoI run our corporate proxy and security made the call to block ‘personal’ sites since it was basically the Wild West of content...

Which it cleverly determined, you've guessed it, by checking the URL and seeing it had "hack" in there. Everything with "hack" in the URL was banned. Pretty sure all those JavaScript ninja hackers they'd hired were a little baffled that they hire hackers but don't let them view nasty hacker pages...

- astura 7y agoI worked a job where the web filter blocked the majority of blogging platforms as "social media."
