4th amendment probably

• throwaway-blaze 4mo ago
  The 4th amendment doesn't apply to property of your employer. They can do pretty much whatever they want in terms of configuration, tracking, and auto-loading software on it.

    It does when your employer is the US Government. Decades of overt corporate authoritarianism seems to have made some people forget about the very idea of individual rights.

      No, it doesn't. The government has the right to manage software on devices they own just like any other business. You can just say you think trump is an authoritarian sack of assholes, you don't need to invent bullshit legal fairy tales. That's not how this works.

        Isn't there a court case with a different legal standard here? Like pagers or something

        > government has the right to manage software on devices they own just like any other business The government is not a business. > you don't need to invent bullshit legal fairy tales Constitutional rights that are meant to explicitly restrain the government are not "bullshit legal fairy tales".
