The longer version, that should be apparent, is that a violator got three strikes.
Well, 4.
As a coworker, I'd whisper in their ear that what they were doing was a violation and to stop.
For each violation, I simply witnessed the reprimand given by a partner. That violation was written up, with proof attached; signed by the violator and me.
That went into their folder.
Third time was a charm.
Example:
Kara downloaded Picasa, a photo editing thing from Google. "Downloads are prohibited without prior permission from the Technology Administrator."
She brought in her personal camera and uploaded pictures to her computer, then to Picasa. "Employees will not use personal technology at work and will not make changes to any of the Firm's technology without prior permission from the Technology Administrator."
Management was suspicious of her and asked me to look at her activity on the firewall.
She was on match.com (this was the trigger for the firewall block, per my recommendation) on a Friday from 2 pm to 5 pm.
It was all documented, signed by her, and she was let go.
... in a Technology Administrator Policy and designate an administrator.
I'm retired now, and when I hired on at a law firm 20 years ago, I wrote that policy and amended it as things changed.
I blocked shit like match.com, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I listed taboos like using business email for non-business purposes and I stated clearly that, at the direction of the partners, I would be monitoring emails, browser history, etc.
For each and every new hire, I read the Policy to them in the kitchen area and invited them to ask question then, and at any other time during their employment.
The last page had a place for two signatures/dates:
- Theirs, acknowledging that they participated in the counseling
- Mine, acknowledging same.
I got a few calls regarding wrongful termination during the years and, in one matter, the fired employee said, "Well, everyone else was doing it."
I told the work comp lady to add, "Line item 6.1.a, 'Report any violations or suspected violations of this policy to the Technology Administrator."

Said the AC.
I just use my BIL's computer.
He don't know that.
... they need to pay Google to do this:
I took a video, 6 years ago, of a couple dancing after their wedding and put it up on YouTube and Sony sent me a take down notice!
All they did is use an algorithm similar to the app, What's That Song?"
You guessed wrong on the nickname.
I know that you know that we each make up our own nickname and that the nickname is not, "given."
I refer you to Dave Barry.
Appreciate that it applies to you.
regarding your post: You said what I said, except you exited too hard.
Terminal events were set by my employer; not you.
Individual employees are seldom liable for damages related to their work positions.
I let business run the IT department.
My partners at the law firm called the shots and I made recommendations that protected the Firm.
Not all were accepted.
They got hit with ransomware shortly after I retired because one of the lawyers phished on "nude photos" of some celeb.
I recommended a more expensive firewall with an aggressive approach to malware but they did their risk analysis and denied my request.
They signed off on their rejection, so I was CYA.
Last I heard they bought "ransomware insurance."
I don't know how that works but it's their problem now.
So, at work, you need Facebook, match.com, and you need to use your work email to forward photos you took with your digital camera?
... to be an informed American before I can support this.
- What, precisely, is the problem we are trying to fix?
- What, precisely, are the gains Americans will receive?
Are we going to save enough money to build a goddam wall?
Fuck you, Trump

It really sounds like you want to read the whole goddam Technology Administration Policy.
For things that seem whack to you, fill in the fucking blanks with the common sense you would include.
Recall that I counseled each new hire, personally, one-on-one.
We're a LAW FIRM.
Things have to be tight all around.
It's possible that you don't grok it.

This.
It's important to keep an eye on the ball. It's the little round thing.
In this case, the ball's name is AdWords.
Try this on yourself as a proof of concept.
We won't be able to tell you how it turns out and stuff.
You attitude is that they haven't done this already.
They have.
The article just says that they added a pseudo opt-in for appearances.
I have Verizon and they have offered an extra 1GB if I would opt in. That was last year.

If you're making claims, you should point to the sources of the claims, and those sources should be verifiable.
You mean like this.

Agreed.
"News," in the Newsfeed, is similar to trolling.
Denial is a survival strategy.
The biggest mistake the president and all his men did was take off the hoods.
Everybody over the age of two has a goddam camera and a connection to a billion people.

Either something happened or it didn't.
It's not hard.
However, why in tarnation is anybody getting their real goddam news on fucking Facebook?
That's the question.
This.
