    You’re not wrong. It really comes down to how ethical the IT/company is. And we are, purposely so. Also we have dns-over-https and No other identifier is parsed through. So we can see and block someone browsing porn on the guest Wi-Fi, but we’d never know who it was. Look, I’m not saying things are perfect, but there are people like me who look out for both the user and the company. The goal is ensure that users privacy is respected and that the company is protected agains misuse, malicious intent or just plain bad-luck. This is the “code” I was referring to. As IT people we have to behave ethically for business we operate in. It’s not perfect but nobody is trying to be. This is all best effort from all parties.

      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.
