Not sure why it's an issue. The employer owns the software/service/platform. You agree to abide by their rules while in a relationship with them.

You've clearly missed the point.

No I think folks here just assume their entitled to something. It's the employer's house, they run the show.

[–] tutus@links.hackliberty.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They are. Employers house or not. That's the point you're missing.

Can you explain how something someone else is paying for, supporting,maintaining, and inviting you to use, is not theirs to command?

You can't just walk into any random person's house and start eating their food. If you are a guest somewhere, you are obligated to use their house the way they command. They can literally tell you "wear a gimp suit while you visit". You don't get to complain, you can leave if you don't like it

I could. But we both know I'd be wasting my time.

This stuff isn't difficult to understand. But you're going out of your way to make such a show of not understanding that you're obviously trolling. Or an idiot.

I am not trolling, I legitimately believe a company's property is theirs to with as they please, and all data transmitted on their systems is theirs to collect and.manipulate as they see fit. Even if that is to the detriment of the worker.

If you come to my home, my network would have the same stipulations, as would yours.
