Using government equipment to conduct personal "business" is considered unethical.
If someone in the Senate wants to edit Wikipedia articles, they're free to do so on their own time, using their own equipment.
- GhotiFish 13y agoreally? I'd call editing a wikipedia article a public good, not a bad use of public resources then, eh?
- bpatrianakos 13y agoI think you're debating semantics here. What if the person looks at it as doing the world a service by correcting wrong information? Then that would probably fit into the job somehow. In any case though, I don't think the ethics of editing a word on Wikipedia during work hours is what we're supposed to be getting up in arms about. I'm really not sure still why we're supposed to be upset.
- BryantD 13y agoEh. If I don't mind someone editing Wikipedia from work (and I don't), I don't mind a Senate staffer editing Wikipedia from work. I would mind if it turned out to be an astroturf campaign but I don't see any evidence of that.
