I suspect that Sarbanes-Oxley is a fig-leaf at best. Part of Sarbanes-Oxley, interestingly enough, is that the company must inform all of its employees about Sarbanes-Oxley. I didn't read anything that made me think that content restrictions were necessary to comply with the act.

Of course, I'm pretty sure that all companies do some form of content filtering. I haven't noticed any problems at work except when a web-site gets mislabeled. "Game playing" is a new one on me. I've never seen that as a category before.

I'm not thrilled with the idea of content filtering. OTOH, it's their bandwidth. If I want unfiltered access to the net, I do it any home. However, like I said, that's easy for me to say since nothing I access from work has gotten blocked yet.
