I believe that most of us (try) to adhere to this guideline (and yes - I personally have been guilty of doing a poor job of this).
- Proxy Level (Big Brother is Watching) - It is possible for persons to review your page-by-page internet activity (meaning a person from your corporation reviewing your travels on the internet on your work computer).
I would say that if you are in a corporate environment where you are concerned that someone may be watching your internet activities, you should be checking LoT during work.

First, I don't really buy into your distinction since a spoiler tag doesn't provide any better protection than a hyperlink. Frankly, the first one is less bothersome to me since my coworkers are far less likely to care about my online habits than distant management.
But as to the second, I'm really not concerned that somebody is reading every page I look at, however, they can easily be monitoring all (or random selections of) images that are transmitted over the network. In my brief stint as a network narc that was exactly one of my tasks, keeping a page reloaded that displayed the last 100 photos over the network. It took about all of 5 seconds to review them for porn or other objectionable content (it was much like the tools where you can view the last 100 photos included in all public LJ posts).
But really my point is, if you are going to be aware enough to say "hey, look at this but be warned that it may get some people in trouble at work" why not just provide a link to it rather than force its download by the person you are warning? Either behind a spoiler tag or a hyperlink they are going to have to click. |
