SHELL BLOCKS GAMBLING FROM EMPLOYEES' INTERNET
27 February 2009
Non-business Internet meanderings on certain
sites to be censored
Richard Wiseman, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of
Royal Dutch Shell has confirmed that IT staff have
commenced blocking undesirable websites accessed by
employees whilst at work. The censorship extends only to
the Web, and does not interfere with email traffic,
reports the Blogger News Network.
The official
notification, leaked to BNN, advises employees that
Internet Content Filtering (ICF) is expanded to all
internet access points globally as part of a global
program to upgrade Shell’s networks.
"This
enhancement will protect you from web-based security
threats, and assist in your compliance with the Code of
Conduct," the communique announces.
The
censorship came into effect Thursday, with filtering on
categories explicitly banned by the Shell Code of
Conduct, which include pornography, gambling and nudity.
The ban is implemented anonymously and in aggregate,
with only WWW traffic being checked - Shell Wide Web
(SWW) sites remain unaffected.
