I always assumed that. I can recall when some e-mail software would pop-up
warnings about e-mail not being a secure form of communication. I would
never trust really sensitive information to e-mail without encryption.
Ditto for my
phone calls--I no longer have a land line. I'm not so sure that the
sound of my farts in the bathroom aren't being recorded.
I've heard some of the audience recordings, I'm holding out for a soundboard
before I spend any money.
Thankfully, the government is not yet assisting private corporate
entities in snooping on personal behavior.
That's a curious assumption given the times in which we live.
I wouldn't want to explain
the contents of some of my emails to my employer. But I suppose that
too, shall pass.
Nothing ever really dies online (supposedly Google has a record of every web
search ever made through its system). Someplace everything you ever posted
is still sitting on a server waiting for your employer to call you in and
ask you about it. Some young grads have discovered that in relation to the
party-hearty photos they had on social networking sites, nobody ever warned
them prospective employers would do a web search....
