More companies are joining the bandwagon and blocking access to social networking sites. A web security firm called ScanSafe reports that a third of employers are now restricting access to social networking sites.
Is it because of a loss of productivity? Not entirely. The report shows that companies are worried about security issues as well, with employees visiting social networks on company computers. And frankly, with all the malware floating around, it's hard to entirely blame companies for worrying about security on popular social networks. Lets not also forget about bandwidth usage that could strain a company's network. Within ScanSafe's own clientèle, about 32% of its customers block access to social networks, with MySpace, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn being the networks that are being blocked the most.
