privacy intrusion by firms

Many major companies are taking workplace surveillance to the next level by
using computer forensics expert and software to uncover everything an
emplyee has done on a workplace PC. Is it not the worst kind of privacy
intrusion.

IMO all forms of provacy intrusion are bad whether it is corporations
monitoring keystrokes, e-mail, server logs, etc, or governments with
echelon, etc. I don't think one is "worse" than the other, they are both just
wrong.

I dunno, a camera pointed at my desk would be pretty annoying, probably a
worse invasion of privacy than just monitoring whether I was typing the right
things or not.

Good point Scott. I should be more clear and say that at the same level
of intrusivness that I don't think it matters whether privacy is invaded
by the government or a corporation, I think they are both wrong.

But the worst part of it comes when you don't know whether one of your secret
marital and health affairs are being cherished by some eccentric bastard and
he plays tricks on you.

I wouldn't keep any such affairs detailed on my work pc! In fact, I try not
to do anything particularly interesting at work. Not only do I not generally
have time, but I'm aware that I'm hardly the only person with access to my
PC..
