Do you think tech companies filter their employees’ internet?
They have tens of thousands of employees, a few of them are bound to download some porn at some point. And the amount downloaded is about 20 files per year on average.
Comment on Meta Employee Deleted 9TB of Torrented Files, Adult Film Producers Claim

I don’t think I really care who wins that one, but :
Meta responded in October by filing a motion to dismiss, arguing the sporadic downloads were consistent with ordinary ‘personal use’ by employees and visitors on the corporate network.
Oh, yeah, just your ordinary downloading porn on the corporate network of a tech giant megacorp, as you do.
Either a lie or an admission of baffling incompetence.

Not a company since I’m in public administration, but my structure has a few thousands workers, most of them having access in some form to the network.
They do filter our internet. I don’t give a fuck whether people consume porn with their own devices and connections. But if you can download porn, you can download anything, including malware. And a bad actor having access to data on our network would be disastrous.
Unfortunately, meta has that kind of data too. In fact hoarding private data is what their business is about. Not securing their network is criminal.

Tech companies, as a general rule, do not filter the internet of their employees, because those employees generally need to do a lot of stuff with the internet (or networking besides the internet) and filtering it would cause a lot of problems.
Production machines (where the data lives) can be much more restricted than work machines. Strong access controls mean that compromising a work machine doesn’t give you access to production data.

Too early for the Metaverse, just in time for Metawankers.

Meta has such nice work benefits. They offer a special room for viewing too or just have a wank at desk?

To be fair, if I had the money, I would make my own porn NAS too.

9 TB of work porn.
Considering it was Meta, it’s probably 90% CSAM anyway.

Absolutely. Or, as they say, “sporadic”.
