U.S. Sets the Standard for Filtering
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. U.S. Sets the Standard for Filtering
This post seems appropriate to mention as I sit here in the ballroom listening to a speaker from Walmart admit that not only does the company filter web access, they also capture and view (she gets a list every morning) all the emails sent and sites viewed by staff.
