This issue came up a couple of years back when Rodney Astleford was the IT director. Mr. Astleford was ordered to block Guardian content from the courthouse computers. Mr. Astleford courageously stood his ground and stated Guardian content was a freedom of speech issue and refused to block what we had to say.
We can only wonder if any other sites are blocked as well. Can county employees still download porn onto Canyon County Computers? Can employees still access just about everything else except THE CALDWELL GUARDIAN? We certainly hope no other sources of information have been cut off from view by county employees.
We don't have access to county computers to verify this but for now we will assume we have in fact been been banned in the Courthouse, the bastion of judicial jurisprudence and keepers of our Constitutional rights. County employees will just have to check on us at home for now.
It would appear censorship has taken over at 1115 Albany Street by those who would control all the worker bees thoughts and reading material and limit their freedom.
This is not a freedom of speech issue.
ReplyDeleteYour right, it is a censorship issue..
ReplyDeleteFox News is all they need to know.
If this is true...WOW!
ReplyDeleteWhy should county employees be reading the Caldwell Guardian or visiting any other non-work related sites while on the county clock?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comment about county employees reading this blog during the work day! You gripe about the wasting of taxpayer dollar on one hand but on the other hand you gripe because county employees don't have access to your blog...doesn't make sense, you can't have it both ways!
