That is, we really only look as a whole for major problems or targetted users, but very rarely scrutinize individual logs unless requested. It would be interested in learning about what IT Pro's are obligated to do, as I suppose ignorance of the problem ain't much of a defense.

But to state, if that is what is being stated, that we have to monitor web traffic as we will be held accountable, is way off base. One does wonder how someone has access to the internet within a company and the ability to upload to their own account. It seems as if the IT person(s) would have blocked that access regardless of content. This person should have been fired for posting porn while using company assets. Let alone, the police being called for child porn! I believe the IT person(s) should have been brought to accountability.

I think the impact will be for many companies to just stop monitoring. I know of many companies that do not monitor exactly because they do not want to deal with what they see.
