        <description><![CDATA[You are still on company property and company equipment using company resources.  If you ask me that alone is reason enough for them to dictate what you can or can't do with company resources.   Let alone the fact that the company could be held legally responsible for certain thing you may or may not do with company resources regardless of your being on the clock or not.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Most companies will not allow personal email either using their company address or utilize a web base email account. That makes it almost impossible to send or receive personal emails at work. An argument is that the time at work is for company business, but during breaks and lunch, the company time stops and personal times starts. What about that?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Eurojames - I really think you give the United States a lot of credit that it really doesn't deserve. The reason why we have this Anti-Privacy laws, strict Acceptable Use Policies, etc is because majority of the U.S. has no common sense. Our president has to tell us to wash our hands to prevent a virus outbreak. As well as tell us to check our tire pressure, it helps us save on gas. In a perfect world where people have common sense we would have less common sense laws.Would that ever happen? Nope.I agree with you 110%. Though in the United States that will never happen. System Admins / IT Managers / Tech Professionals, have to babysit people so that they don't go to porn sites, send offensive email, etc. Which comes to my conclusion on humanity:Common Sense cannot be taught - you are born with it! You either have it or you don't!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[All you do is visit googlemaps mobile and use a gmail account to log in and add yourself to their app.  Then when you visit googlemaps and log in you can track your target.  Though not quite as accurate as military or commercial hardware, it is quite handy for a few things.Of course there are lowcost gps transmitters on commercial grade magnets you can put on the undercarriage of cars.  While no self respecting cheating spouse drives his or her own car to the motel, they will keep the cell phone on them so the cell phone tracking is all the new private detective rage.  There are also numerous programs that will do the same thing as the googlemaps thing, but only if you have administrative rights to the cell phone account.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-309057-3081479]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[In the 1990s there were a couple of court cases where companies sued other companies over the content of leaked internal emails. In two cases it was clear from the content the correspondence were personal emails between low level employees where they bitched about the competition and what they'd like to do to them. On hearing the cases the courts held that because the emails were on the company mail system the correspondence was official documentation, the same as an internal memo. Large payouts were awarded. They were NOT overturned on appeal.The default legal view is company system means company documents and company property, which the company not only can review, are required to review to ensure they aren't abused. Unless your local state of country has since enacted laws to spell out something different in fine details, that's the situation.Privacy laws apply to protection of personal information and personal physical privacy only when applied to the work place.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-309057-3081486]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[Money, even in intelligence matters of national security, can't protect you anymore. If there's a even a slight whiff of a story, they'll keep hitting with FOIA requests year after year until they finally get it. There's even a new branch of investigative journalism for that now. The old workaround of destroying the records also doesn't work anymore. An FOIA on a piece of data means you can't destroy it unless the government manager who authorized it wants to risk criminal action. They'll be some great stories coming up about US corporate bribes into the UK government shortly which will be based entirely on emails over 15 years old between some F100 corporate executives and UK Inland Revenue tax officials who hid a massive tax fraud. All the releases were based on the new Euro version of the FOIA.BTW, there's even new anti-redaction software to look behind those black marks in intelligence FOIA releases.Money can delay the revelations, but not stop them permanently anymore. That's one of the good by-products of electronic mail and the new internet age.]]></description>
