We had complaints from students about other students using the limited 
resource (in this case student computers) to do facebook / youtube.

We negotiated with the students union that certain sites would be 
blocked from those machines for a certain busy period during the day. 
Negotiation with the students union appeared to be hugely important in 
deflating any protests.
