Facebook ban for civil servants

“Workers who need to access the social network for professional reasons can request a special dispensation,” said a statement from the federal government.

Of the government’s seven ministries, only the foreign ministry will still allow employees to access the site once the ban comes in next week.

Government workers were asked in May to “show moderation in private use of the Internet, notably of Facebook,” the statement said. Such use did decrease slightly, but Facebook remained one of the four most popular sites.
