The company that I work for seems to have this prejudice against firearms because I find that many of the various firearms websites that I used to be able to view are now being blocked. And of course since this is their network they have basically the right to do what they want.
But my question is regarding by what means they accomplish this.
For instance if I do a google search on Browning, for instance, and I then try to click on this link that would take me to the Browning Firearms site, it is blocked.
But if I do a another google search on Browning and I then try to click on the link for the Browning Companys' archery divsion, I CAN view that site.
So, my question is are the network administrators monitoring the web use activity and then doing blocks on specific firearm related website links that they see being accessed or are they filtering on certain keywords in the links such as FIREARMS, GUNS, etc. etc., because like I say I can access Brownings archery site but not its' firearm site ?
Thanks.
