Excess of visits to pornographic pages collapses internet in Colombian Congress
In the last week there have been 5,000 visits to web pages with adult content and 3,000 websites to find partners.The multiple visits to pornographic pages and partner search pages have made internet access difficult in the Colombian House of Representatives, according to an analysis made by IT systems engineers reported today.The newspaper ‘El Tiempo’ says that the revision was done due to complaints from users about the lack of speed of the system. The experts found that in recent days there has been consultations made from computers installed in Congress of more than 5000 pornography pages and 3000 partner search pages.Directors of the House of Representatives said that from this point onwards internet access would be restricted for those that do not belong to Congress.“The objective the administration is looking for are simply to cleanse the system and to avoid access to pages that do not bring benefit to work practices, such as porn pages, person-to-person programs, downloading free program, messenger, yahoo messenger and other improductive services not required in the daily legislative work“, said the Lower House in a communique.The administration of the House of Representative cause controversy at the beginning of the month by censuring the use of internet that offered free e-mail and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. The measure was called ‘absurd’ by the House president, Carlos Zuluaga, who rescinded the order.
