New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Workers are now barred from browsing general news, online shopping, and sports websites on government devices, unless they get an exception for a legitimate business need, according to an email to SSA employees obtained by Rolling Stone.

Employees at the Social Security Administration can no longer access news websites on government equipment, they were told in an agencywide email on Thursday morning.

The Social Security Administration announced a Severance-style censorship policy Thursday that prohibits employees from reading the news on their work devices. The SSA—with a workforce of about 57,000 employees—sent a morning email to all staff to prescribe “additional restrictions to the categories of websites prohibited from government-furnished equipment.

An internal email sent to Social Security employees on Thursday morning prohibited them from accessing online news sites, hindering the agency's work.
