I just went to Whitehouse.gov to catch Obama's first press conference during lunch, and ... it's content-blocked. It's embedded on Whitehouse.gov from YouTube, and YouTube has been blocked by $_workplace for years, because their content filter categorized it as a 'social networking' site. I always thought of it as a place to find music videos and an occasional movie. I've never made any use of the social aspect of it.
The irony of having the president of the United States content-filtered was amusing at first, but now it's starting to grate. I may have a talk with our security officer about the possibility of allowing whitehouse.gov's specific YouTube pages as well as their other networking pages.
