As I have been doing research for my classroom presentation in November, I came across this situation. A man in San Diego at his place of employment was looking up information for the White House and went to whitehouse.com. Instead, he should have gone to whitehouse.org.
Guess what whitehouse.com is? Yes, a former pornographic site. His employer caught him on the site and fired him immediately, despite doing this by accident.
The fired man eventually got a lawyer and settled the case for $100,000. The lesson here is that there should be some discretion when enforcing internet usage policies.
