They may have internet in their rooms, but don't forget all that internet traffic first goes through TWIT's routers and firewall and ultimately only what Steve Longley's department allows is what they have access too. I'm certain they block some sites "for the good of the twits", which ones I haven't a clue. More than likely they use a proxy server for that purpose, any TWITS at HQ confirm you use a proxy to access the internet [special browser configuration?]
Sharing the pipe with a proxy server I wouldn't be surprised by. Monitoring in the office, sure. Monitoring in Founder's Hall, I doubt it.
And I have no doubt they watch what traffic goes in and out to see what their groupies are looking at on the internet, much like their phone guys are watching who their groupies are calling or receiving calls from, which has been confirmed, and they do take action accordingly..
Monitoring who people are calling and taking action on it? Again I doubt it, unless what you are talking about happened on office phones, in which case it is justified.

What they don't monitor would be if someone were to purchase their own cell phone or internet service. However, since now TWI supplies phones and internet service to even dorm rooms in Founder's Hall, why waste your money buying your own service?! No, instead they willingly use the supplied offerings only to have their connections monitored. They did it when I was in (I should know, I monitored them), and I doubt things have changed any different. It is "their' services offered for your personal use, but that only means you agree to how they oversee the 'service'.

Never forget you're dealing with an organization that always finds time to find ways to intrude
and monitor your personal life when they can find a way to do so.

I agree, T&O. Considering the history of TWI monitoring, spying and otherwise micro-managing every move of those they "oversee" - I wouldn't be so quick to assume that Founders Hall folks can freely surf.
Let's see:
They had my ex turn in his long distance phone records when he was in WC training -
they monitored all his phone calls
while he was in training.
They spent
months
tracking down a Pitney Bowes code to find who sent
real
research on the debt issue to folks at HQ.
They interrogated
every single TWIt in the entire state of Florida
trying to determine who a particular poster at WayDale and Gspot was.
They monitor posts here
and were relentless during WayDale. Folks have been M&A and marriages were destroyed because of TWI's intrusion on their privacy.
They mailed some people their own posts when they were scheduled to be involved in court cases -
with not-so-subtle threats of "we're watching you."
They had (maybe still have) WC scheduling their lives in 15 minute increments
& required them to submit these schedules, which were to include everything including "intimate" time with their spouse.
And, now, they're all about freedom to roam about the world wide web? I doubt it.
I know of at least one person there who loves porn websites - I hope he doesn't get himself into trouble with the WAYGB for that.
Yeah every other year, twice in that year. Still bringing in over 1000 this Spring.
$1,000 or 1,000 people? Are there even 1,000 people qualified to attend a spay-shul left in TWI?
Didn't someone post that they tried to require everyone who wanted to take the new class to bring a "new" person or serve on the class crew? When that didn't work, they had to drop the requirement.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn they're running the classes with no new people and no "new person" quota. At least when Craig did that, he said it was "to bless the household" because, we're to be "especially good to the household".
If that's 1,000 people attending the spay-shul, we'll probably see that number continue to drop each year.

1,000 people is a far cry from 20,000 at an ROA.

Yeah, but you gotta remember: 19,000 of those were bitter cop-outs, smoked homos, or saltless walking meatsticks.

I believe it was about 1300 people.
_______ said they were in the auditorium like sardines.
And I know at least one who was going to go but had to cancel.
