Last but not least: Swiss Post and SBB block Facebook access
The power of Mark Zuckerberg's community platform Facebook extends to our state-owned companies. Even postmen and train drivers like to dive into the internet with their "friends" while at work.
The power of Mark Zuckerberg's community platform Facebook extends to our state-owned companies. Even postmen and train drivers like to dive into the Internet to visit their "friends" while at work. But now a stop is being put to this activity: With immediate effect, Swiss Post and SBB are banning their employees from accessing the Internet - albeit for different reasons. Swiss Post fears attacks by viruses, while SBB fears abuse by its staff.
As the yellow giant writes in its staff newspaper Die Post, there has not yet been a virus incident due to Facebook. The step was taken as a prophylactic measure. The risk of virus transmission is increasing. There are also fears that criminals active on the social network could gain access to confidential data under a false identity. SBB employees are also not allowed to use Facebook. The reason is that the network was very often used for private purposes. What else would it be used for?
