The advantages of the monitering system is that it can prevent employees from being sidetracked and ensures that the employees are doing the work that they are being paid for. It makes all workers equal as it means that they all do the work the company sets as oppose to some working and some playing games, watching porn etc. The main negative impacts of a system such as this is that it may make workers feel an incrimination of their space and may demotivate them to work due to the strict working conditions in the environment. For the employees it is good as it means they know whats good and whats not good in the workplace and prevents individuals being singled out.
As far as the system is concerned, if a worker is being genuine in their search, the keywords that are seen as violating may be logged and certain non-harmful websites may be blocked even if the workers are searching without a secondary motive.
In my opinion the system is flawed and should be made far less incriminating as the workers will not work to their full potential if they fel they are not trusted/ feel they are being watched.
