>Because you do not own those computers, and they should not be used for non-work-related activity. The company policy will explicitly mention this, something like "all communications on company property are subjected to monitoring at all times."
Just as a thought experiment, lets say I set up a "free computer booth" on a street, but made people tick a box when they started that expressed the same conditions.
Would I then be entitled to MITM and read all communications that passed through that machine?
Why or why not?
- userbinator 8y agoYes. The owner always has the right to monitor what goes on with his/her property. If you remove that right (like what is happening on mobile devices, unfortunately), it's a slippery slope to a situation where no one has absolute ownership of what they "own", which is even more treacherous for privacy.
