Uh, why can't you tell people not to use it...? If security is that important for your company, of course you can tell your employees which tools to use.
A fun fact: in many areas of TSMC, smart phones are banned. No one says "you can't just tell people not to use smart phones."

- wil421 4y agoThat’s very common in a lot of secure places. There are tons of government contractors who have to put smartphones away due to the cameras on them. Not to mention the more secure government places.
- KirillPanov 4y ago> in many areas of TSMC, smart phones are banned This does not surprise me at all. What I want to know is how they enforce it. Unless they have something better than "fear of somebody seeing you using the smartphone", it isn't getting enforced. If they do have something better I want to know what.

They ask you to pass through a metal detector gate, take away your phone if found, then give your a company phone for emergency call only. It's that strict (at least for R&D. Probably not for management and others).

- KirillPanov 4y ago> Anyone working in an office area can have a phone but they do some... stuff to it. This is what I'm interested in. I get it, the guys in bunny suits will probably tolerate being groped and wanded every workday for the rest of their career. I have a hard time beliving the scientific staff and executives tolerate that.
