    You only communicate over company channels what you don’t mind appearing in the court room. They was already the case, now it’s just more so.

      There seems to be a shocking amount of people that expect any amount of privacy on corporate owned systems, property, or hardware.

      As someone in tech: as much as I don’t give a singular speck of interest in spying on what you’re doing, intensive monitoring of every single thing happening within the company systems is important and useful. Often these logs are vitally necessary for things like malware detection and remediation, data exfiltration detection and investigation, investigation into system and network issues, legal investigations or action (both for us, and when subpeona’d).

      The amount of data we log, and I have access to, on employees actions on our systems is disturbing. But I would be lying if said that I haven’t encountered a legitimate need for a shocking amount of it.

        That and the company owns the system. I don’t think it’s unethical for them to monitor everything. The system is a tool that they let you use to facilitate your work. Nothing more.
