If I'm running a business of any kind and I see this sort of distraction I'm going to do something about it. It's called a business decision, and I wouldn't be surprised if they could present data to backup the fact that general production went up when this distraction was removed.
It's just like blocking Facebook, Chiefsplanet, etc. on company networks. It's a distraction that costs an organization money because of lack of production. It's my opinion that this sort of thing has a lot more to do with what's going on than conspiracy.

Actually, since you're into up-to-the-minute business ideas and conferences and all that jazz, I think it's worth pointing out the currently accepted wisdom is that you're better off not blocking access to such websites. Google it if you want. I work for a major international law firm, who aren't the most progressive types traditionally, and they unblocked facebook and youtube about 18 months ago. It's happening a lot.
Let people have their blinds the way they want them and let them access the internet. You'll have a much happier staff. Underperformers get fired.
How hard can that be? You're just pissing off the productive employees by treating them like children.
