I think this is relevant, at my workplace which is in EU, sysadmins are allowed to access anything that is not explicitly marked as personal.
I've always assumed that this is some kind of EU regulation, but I don't know. Does anybody here knows?
- m_t 11y agoThis is the case in France, and you're even allowed to use work equipment for personal things as long as it is done in a reasonable amount. For instance, reading news articles on your work computer browser, browsing your personal facebook account, either during a break or for a few minutes a day, will be seen as reasonable. On the other hand, if you spend 6hrs out of 8 doing personal stuffs, the employer can use this against you. I also assumed this kind of usage would be protected by a court like the European Court of Human Rights, but I was wrong.
