Www.imdb.com - why would this site be blocked?

Question

Like most companies there are restrictions on internet use which I accept. I was wondering why an intenational movie web site would be blocked. The is nothing offensive about it. Its no problem as I have access to 2 pc's at home and I have a lap. I am just curious.

Answer 1

From a security standpoint, each page on that site sets a lot of tracking cookies, otherwise I can find nothing wrong with it here.

Answer 2

try asking the company ( i will refer to it as ISP) about it. if the ISP says something about it like its a fraud website (just a random one)then they need to check further.

Answer 3

Perhaps (and I'm only guessing here) the Compnay has decided that an "intenational movie web site" has nothing-what-so-ever to do with your work ????

I know it's a real pain, but I expect your Boss imagines that you go to work for his benefit :-) ....
