companies can be held liable for what people using their networks do, so they need a way to prove it's not their fault and provide the credentials of the malevolent actor. it's like call and message logs kept by phone companies. nobody likes to keep them but it's better than the breaking the law and risking for someone abusing your infrastructure. it would also be great if my colleagues did not use the company network to check the soccer stats every morning for 4 hours straight, so the company had to put up some kind of domain blocking that prevents me from looking up some algorithm i cannot recall from the top of my mind on gamedev.net because it's considered "gaming"

Looking up soccer stats is not illegal so the company doesn't have to block it. Blocking the website instead of punishing them in their performance reviews (assuming it does impact their performance, if they're still productive why even care) is useless, they'll use their phones and still spend time on it.

  > Looking up soccer stats is not illegal so the company doesn't have to block it. it's not because it's illegal, it's because they are wasting time on the job using company's equipment for something not work related. And usually they end up clicking everywhere on shady ads, trackers etc. We are in Italy, there's no such thing as performance review here, if you get hired you get paid every month (actually 13 times a year, sometimes 14) and nobody can fire you ever again. > they'll use their phones and still spend time on it. their choice on their equipment
