Snitching? Or protecting?

Interesting.
CC may hate a snitch, but will she like it when the network/computer that she uses to compose her CC content is owned by malware possibly introduced by said web sites.
Granted, I think it's the IT admin's job if the policy of the firm to block such things to limit access through the use of web filtering and what not, but this is a work environment. It's introducing risk to the firm. If the acceptable use of the Internet policy at the firm (and they do have one, yes?) says this is not appropriate, what this points out is the IT staff is not doing their job. Have a policy is only half of the battle. Next you have to enforce it.
If it's not acceptable.. block it.
