[OPLINTECH] How do you handle Internet filtering

[shivelri@oplin.org]

everyone,

I think that the heart of my real question was poorly expressed by the 
responses thus far, so I would like to clarify it.

I completely agree that blocking sites is not a good method of bandwidth 
control. That is not even the main reason I am currently blocking 
MySpace and other social networks. My reasons are:

1. the pornographic images viewed (an complained about)
2. (and my main reason) is the malware and malicious code on Myspace and 
others.

I have looked at Facebook and it doesn't allow all the crazy custom 
scripts on there site from what I can see. I really want to know what 
you guys/ladies are doing in regard to those issues not bandwidth, I am 
well aware that runescape, youtube, and other sites eat as much if not 
more bandwidth. I really would like to know what if anything you do 
about these issues. I am not set either way I just want some peer 
opinion on why and why not.
