| 11:03.51 | hali | is it legal for a company to block websites just because they have gay content (non-pornographic) |
| 11:03.58 | hali | it can't be can it.. it seems a bit wrong |
| 11:07.31 | jcookeman | hali: I would ban all gay content |
| 11:07.35 | jcookeman | if it was my company |
| 11:08.12 | jcookeman | since when can anyone tell a business owner what they can and cannot allow in their network? |
| 11:08.36 | wethrin | I believe the government does |
| 11:08.39 | hali | it does |
| 11:09.07 | wethrin | It sounds discriminatory to just block gay websites |
| 11:09.09 | jcookeman | that's just bollocks |
| 11:09.18 | wethrin | However, a company can block what they like |
| 11:09.28 | hali | jcookeman: so you think gay people should all be shot? |
| 11:09.38 | jcookeman | hali: did I say anything to that effect? |
| 11:09.41 | hali | you did |
| 11:09.47 | jcookeman | hali: no i did not |
| 11:10.05 | hali | "I would ban all gay content" ... which suggests you think homosexuallity is wrong and should be banned |
| 11:10.10 | antiphase | Easy now |
| 11:10.15 | wethrin | The company provides computers and network connections as a tool |

| 11:10.32 | jcookeman | hali: since when does me saying I would ban it incinuate I think it should be banned? or, that they should be shot |
| 11:10.34 | wethrin | And therefore they can say how the tool should be used |
| 11:10.41 | jcookeman | wethrin: exactly |
| 11:10.42 | antiphase | Companies can block what they want if its availability isn't beneficial to their employees' work output |
| 11:10.45 | wethrin | if you want unrestricted internet access, get it at home |
| 11:10.46 | antiphase | Anything else is a perk |
| 11:11.03 | wethrin | thanks, antiphase. You put it more succintly than wot I did |
| 11:11.04 | hali | people here are considering taking it to court |
| 11:11.12 | antiphase | I only get inbound port 25 open at work :( |
| 11:11.20 | antiphase | Outbound everything though \o// |
| 11:11.20 | wethrin | HTTP over SMTP |
| 11:11.23 | hali | there has been a few court cases in the uk when companies block job search sites and stuff... |
| 11:11.35 | jcookeman | That's just plain stupid |
| 11:11.46 | hali | setteled outside court so no predicate yet |
| 11:12.00 | hali | or whatever it's called |
| 11:12.08 | jcookeman | precident |
| 11:12.15 | antiphase | precedent ;) |
| 11:12.16 | jcookeman | precedent |
| 11:13.00 | hali | we block so much stuff im considering negating our blacklist and just use whitelisting instead |
| 11:13.18 | hali | or rather, the content filter provider we use block it for us.. they are pretty paranoid |
| 11:23.29 | jcookeman | hali: that's the preferable way to do it. that way the homos cant come bitching at you |
| 11:24.30 | wethrin | They're normally shite |
| 11:24.41 | jcookeman | ours is crap |
| 11:24.45 | jcookeman | webmarshall |
| 11:25.21 | wethrin | I think there were stories of a medical research place unable to look up sites about breast cancer because it contained the naughty word 'breast' |
| 11:25.31 | jcookeman | :D |
| 11:26.11 | jcookeman | someone should go into the biz of writing naughty stories that can pass through filters |
| 11:26.40 | hali | we use bluecoat, costs about 100k a year for our sites :) |
| 11:26.48 | hali | best money we ever spent... |
| 11:26.50 | hali | ... NOT |
| 11:28.03 | jcookeman | you know, "...and then I placed my <insert medical terminology for tongue> on her natal lactating glands and ..." |
| 11:36.00 | hali | some breast cancer site was block, "Sexual/Fetish" :) |

| 17:58.15 | clive-h | I should be there with a friend |
| 17:59.24 | wethrin | No. I'm up in Durham |
| 17:59.38 | clive-h | ahh okay, shame |
| 17:59.52 | wethrin | I will be at the GBBF on Thursday, though |
| 18:00.28 | clive-h | I used to run monthly meets for another channel, someone from Newcastle came to them all |
| 18:00.41 | wethrin | Down in London? |
| 18:00.41 | clive-h | I probably won't be at that |
| 18:00.45 | wethrin | ah well |
| 18:00.45 | clive-h | yep |
| 18:00.52 | wethrin | I can't quite afford that :) |
| 18:01.05 | wethrin | Otherwise I could be tempted, as I don't have anything else to do this weekend |
| 18:01.15 | clive-h | I can't afford the GBBF |
| 18:01.30 | wethrin | It's cheaper beer than most London pubs |
| 18:01.58 | clive-h | It's the entrance fee that's the barrier |
| 18:02.03 | clive-h | I'm not working |
| 18:02.29 | wethrin | Mmm. I see your point |
| 18:03.56 | murb | rather than normal pay as you drink places? |
