World wide more employes got monitored on there email and surf behavior,Big brother is watching you!!
Up to 14 million U.S. workers are subject to continuous surveillance of their e-mail and Internet use, according to a new study. |
That means roughly one of every three of the 40 million employees using e-mail or the Internet on the job are monitored, the Privacy Foundation says in a statement announcing the report, to be released Monday. Worldwide, 100 million workers, or about 27 percent, are monitored, the nonprofit group said.
Companies that monitor employees' online activities include 20th Century Fox, Glaxo Wellcome, Nike, Duracell, Barclays, Marriott, Texaco, American Express, Premera Blue Cross and Zenith Electronics. Government agencies include the U.S. Army, the Small Business Administration, the National Park Service and the City of Boston.
The dropping cost of surveillance software is the primary reason for its increasingly widespread use, the foundation said. "Employee monitoring, as measured by the sales of surveillance software, has increased at least twice as fast as the number of U.S. employees with Internet access in the past few years," the foundation said.
