Monitoring employee emails is nothing new, I've seen it happening for the last 10 years in both private enterprise and govt. So my question is, is monitoring employee emails currently illegal in Australia? Or is it the interpretation of "Intercepting" that is important?
The magic words here are: "would allow companies to intercept staff emails without the consent of workers." Consent is important in a lot of countries - though usually this is given in the employee's contract. IIRC you even need it in the US as it's against one of the millions of amendments to the constituion... dave _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
