TORONTO -- The social networking website Facebook does
not add value to a workplace environment and civil servants
should not be wasting office time visiting the site, Ontario
Premier Dalton McGuinty said yesterday.
The province this week quietly banned government staff
from accessing the popular website while at work, adding
Facebook to other prohibited online destinations such as
YouTube and gambling and hard-core sex sites.
McGuinty said he wants civil servants to be concentrating
on their jobs, not on Facebook or other non-business
websites.
"A number (of sites) have been rendered inaccessible in
the past," he said.
"I think Facebook is predominantly a social network. It
has its value, but we just don't really see how it adds value
to work that you do in the workplace."
