That's not really how security works. They don't make assumptions that you are smart enough to not frick around, they protect anyway.

My rule of thumb with some common sense, if they aren't blocking it, it's probably safe. That's the rule for my work PC, but I use it for 99% work purposes, I may Google something I know is safe so I don't have to grab my phone.

Cell I stay off company networks. Now that I work from home, I will even disconnect my phone from WiFi while my work PC is connected to VPN if I'm searching something NSFW.

Sure they do...plenty of companies and business operate a daily plan of frick Around and find out.

My previous employer allowed porn which I found out accidentally after googling a sporting goods store's hours close to the office. "Dicks in Metairie" had some interesting results.

Assuming that something is okay just because you're not actually prevented from doing so is the reason signs like this need to exist.
