Your ethics goes out the window when being told to do something by your employer.

Maybe you try to look out for the user, but it's completely wrong that employees should have to trust you to do that.

"Company being protected from misuse" is a blanket term for survellience, same as "fighting terrorism".

I still stand by my opinion. Companies need to trust employees and not run survellience programs against them. It's just wrong.
