Government Censorship of Websites On the Rise: Unions

Government rules that dictate the type of websites that civil servants can view for work have become so strict that many employees in Ottawa use personal electronics -- such as smart phones and tablets -- to access information needed to do their jobs, say public sector unions.

 

In some cases, they say employees must make special requests to the government department they work at to get websites unblocked in order to view the material they require.

The government has argued that it blocks certain sites to protect its system from viruses and to prevent workers from viewing illicit material.

But unions say that the degree to which the government blocks websites goes beyond those with illicit material. The government department that manages what sites can be viewed has refused to reveal what sites or how many sites it has blocked.

Revelations about the extent of the censorship came to light Monday when a news service, Blacklock's Reporter, reported that Shared Services Canada, a government department that oversees information and IT, prevented civil servants from viewing its news site.
