Nearly one out of ten large companies has fired an employee for violating corporate blogging or message board policies, according to a survey conducted by Proofpoint, a company that specializes in corporate messaging security. 19 percent of the companies have disciplined an employee for violating corporate blogging or message board policies.

While we haven’t seen any independent research on this topic & Proofpoint has an interest in demonstrating a need for its content security products….their statistics are still something to keep in mind if you’ve been updating your sex vlog at work.

Proofpoint’s survey was conducted by Forrester Consulting, which polled 308 U.S. companies with more than 1,000 employees.
