Google restricting internet access to some employees to reduce cyberattack risk
cnbc.com
The company will disable internet access on the select desktops, with the exception of internal web-based tools and Google -owned websites like Google Drive and Gmail. Some workers who need the internet to do their job will get exceptions, the company stated in materials.
In addition, some employees will have no root access, meaning they won’t be able to run administrative commands or do things like install software.

Probably not a bad idea. Google used to be full of tech nerds but it gets more corporate and bland all the time.
Even in a company full of tech nerds you usually don't just hand out root access!
nobody should have root access other than senior admins.
You’ll have to pry my root access from my cold dead fingers!
jk…take it. I’d rather not have to worry about OS-level shenanigans anymore.
