The Canadian workplace porn scandal: John Foley's great comments at the InformationWeek Weblog

InformationWeek WeblogAnd my thoughts on this too.
Bottomline, employees of a Canadian government ministry were found to have downloaded some pretty vile porn and violent content. When this was discovered, the most aggregious violators were terminated. In an arbitration, the ministry was ordered to reinstate them and the arbitrators and many experts claimed that the ministry had made a big ado about nothing.

It is significant, legally, that the ministry had no Internet use agreement in place at the time. one was put in place during the arbitraion. Had one been in place when the porn and violent content was downloaded, there might have been a different result.

way to go John!!!
