Who says bipartisanship is dead?
The Eliminating Pornography from Agencies Act, which would prohibit federal employees from accessing pornographic or explicit material on government computers and devices, passed through the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday.
The sponsor of the bill, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., made the exciting announcement Wednesday. Meadows introduced the bill Feb. 19 after a similar bill he introduced in the last session of Congress did not pass.
The new bill is an extension of the prior one, which stems from a May 2014 inspector general's report on federal employees watching pornography while at work. The report revealed a top-level employee at the Environmental Protection Agency was viewing as many as six hours of pornography a day in his office on his government computer.

Imagine the unemployment rate if all unConstiutional alphabet agencies were null and voided.
ReplyDeleteI can dream cant I?
They had to pass a congressional bill for this? 20 years ago, as more and more computers were being networked in the military, that was one of the first rules implemented - no porn on military computers. GIs were booted out of the service with less than honorable discharges for violating the rule. But the fucking CIVILIAN government workforce has to be forced into behaving at work with a federal law. What's wrong with this picture? (I know, I know - preaching to the choir.)
ReplyDeleteThanks and insane, needless to say.
