Surveillance and Consumer Harm?

Anyone else’s team get hit with this? https://investigations.stopconsumerharm.com/behavox-employee-surveillance

Or similar corporate employee surveillance tool you have installed?

We have installed stuff like this but can our customers have a claim if we monitor our employees?

I think meta is going through a similar issue too

Any stuff like that goes to legal.

If someone wants me to slap bossware on systems, I'll remind them that any data gathered from bossware has to be classified at the highest tier of data protection (i.e. red or similar) and audited to prevent civil torts and data exfiltration.

A lot of those programs don't have any certifiable security standards anyway, so if I did allow them to be used, I'd risk being put in jail, especially in HIPAA protected areas.

This is 100% a legal question not a sysadmin one.

These are entirely questions for legal departments and their representatives and not r/sysadmin at all really.
