i absolutely agree. i worked for a large IT publishing company a couple years back and we had a nasty case of sexual harassment resulting from open access. some guy left a picture of a naked woman on a female co-worker's computer as a joke and she flipped.
unfortunately, the company instituted draconian filtering as a result. my division did a webzine and so we were hit particularly hard when we couldn't go to google (!), salon, and other news sites. even slashdot. it only took a few minutes to call the admins every time we needed a new URL declassified, but it was still pretty ridiculous.
at the same time, in this litigious age what choice does any company have?
