I work for a US multi-national and.....
.... they use websense to prevent me going to certain undesirable websites.
I cannot access the Labour Party or Liberal Democrats websites.
Guess what, I can access the Conservative website.

What is the point, out of interest? I imagine it's frustrating not having access to all those exciting Labour Party Flash games, but it's not the end of the world.

I only use my work PC now for non-work activities but with websense it prevents access to dodgy sites such as porn and gambling, that's good.
That's great but someone has decided that political websites such as Labour and the Liberal Democrats should be banned too ..... whilst access to the Conservative website should be allowed, why would they do that?
I'll check UKIP also .....banned from that, GOP-Banned, Democrats - Banned
So only political access I am allowed by Big Brother is to the Conservative Party website.

SYnapse I would never do that, I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of access but it is interesting that this has been done.
stupidfighter (253 D)

Could just be an oversight. Internet is a big place. Company might mean to block political sites in general, but none of the techies thought of the conservative party. If, say, one of Dems and GOP was allowed an the other wasn't, I'd be much quicker to accuse your co. of intentional bias.
SYnapse (0 DX)
18 Jul 14 UTC
You sound a little paranoid. A lot of this stuff is automated there is probably a script or flash element that exists on the other websites that the Tories don't use.
I suppose the more charitable explanation -- that there's only one site allowed by mistake, and that all were meant to be banned -- is out of the question.

Silly policy on your employer's part, regardless.

Maybe they do that to counteract the bias on such search engines as Google, with their manipulated/filtered search rankings...
Octavious (2802 D)

As Nigee's probably the only one to visit the Conservative website in the last month I doubt there's much to worry about.
Invictus (240 D)
18 Jul 14 UTC
SYnapse's idea that it's somehow related to the website's structure makes a hell of a lot more sense than your employers being part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.

And what are you doing using your company computer for personal web surfing? You wanna get fired? Use your phone, dummy.

What I've Been Saying About Gaza:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/israel-iron-dome-could-prolong-195600244.html Main quote inside, but essentially--the Iron Dome, which has (thankfully) stopped hundreds of rocket attacks in just a few days now, has taken all pressure off Netanyahu to negotiate, while Hamas arguably stands to gain more from prolonging the conflict--ie, shooting rockets knowing they'll be intercepted and reprisals will come--than by making peace. So, settle in, boys and girls...

Babak wanted to say "Hi" to WebDip
Babak asked me to say "Hi" to webdip on facebook. He is doing well, has a 6 month old baby, and just moved to a new country, but once things settle down, he might join us again.
So in the mean time, shape up your diplomatic and tactical skils and let's see who else we can drag back. :)

what is the average age of webdiplomacy players?
Is there a statistic? I want to know. In a game I felt I was playing with the stubbornness of a child. He/she wanted ALL his way. All the negotiation was "this is mine mine mine". He/she couldn't see the repercussions of a bad decision because he/she wanted the gratification of now.

Seriously, knowing the age of a person before starting a game or a negotiation can help a lot. Psychological speaking.

Lib Dems have gone early while Cameron is on the defensive after his re-shuffle. Because of the current coalition of Tories/Liberals there will be a new dynamic to the elections, also the rise of UKIP is a bit of an unknown factor.

Best free webdesign software
I'm very likely going to design another website, but unlike last time, this isn't for school or something, so I can use all the tools I want to make my job easier. What software would you recommend? There's quite a lot to choose from and I don't want to try them all, nor spend extra hours because I'm missing some very useful features...

BNP Paribas extorted by US government for $9 billion fine
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this.

US crushed French bank even though it violated no international, or bilateral law, simply because trade is done in dollars. This is abuse of power and signifies that the US no longer upholds a free trade system. It will use the fact that trade is done in dollars to destroy people even if they broke no law.
