if said service is provided by the employer, they own the data/communications and have every right to monitor the service. same goes for work email: employers have access to this. it isn't illegal for them to access these communications done on a work account.
- mikeash 12y agoThat depends heavily on local laws and you really can't make a blanket statement like that.
- RobAley 12y agoAnd laws be damned, it's often employee moral that takes a hit when employers snoop without consent, and that can be just as costly (if not more so) than a court case in many companies.
