    Counter point. I would wager people are more productive scrolling 5 minutes through a Facebook post then taking a 30 minute coffee break talking to various coworkers. I would hate this. Also if you’re a developer how would you research something? No stack overflow? No access to forums to solve particular problems? Not sure this is sustainable.

    Prepare for productivity to tumble lol switching tabs and keeping working is much more efficient than switching between your phone and your computer screen if you’re at a desk job. I guess I can understand why they want to do this but they better get a lot more lax with people being on phones, which I’m not gonna hold my breath on. Just more ways to shit on employees for other companies to emulate, love this capitalist innovation!

      I hope organisations invest in qubes os and other container/virtualization tools to make them more practical.

      Taking radical steps like cutting off internet would hurt productivity as much as it improve security.

    Can’t organize forming Unions if all you can use is corporate services.

    Ars Technica just parroting a CNBC report third hand, when they could add some useful context by sharing traffic numbers to their site from Google-owned IP addresses and user agents.
