    Employer Monitors Employee Computer Activity With a Keylogger
    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Pennsylvania


    I had an employer in the past who installed keyloggers and monitored internet browsing of its employees. Even the college I attended did the same thing. If the data associated with my username from either institution were to spread to others in society by email or other means and hurt my reputation. Is that a civil rights violation?

    People can misinterpret data about me without thoroughly knowing the intent of my internet history or what I meant when typing. There misinterpretation of my internet history and keylogger data could prevent me from getting a normal job or live a normal life. People do have opinions about others and use information obtained from different sources (computers, word of mouth, media) to form opinions.

    Also, people I have worked with in the past may want to harm my reputation using the data.

    No. That is not a civil rights violation.

    I suggest you stop doing aberrant things on other peoples networks and computers and limit them to your own computer in the privacy of your home network. They are permitted to monitor their employees at work or students at school on their network or computers. Ya Got Nothin'

    You have no right to privacy on corporate computers.

    What if they were to share the information with others no within the corporation?

    They likely will if it up the chain of command. Everyone needs to polish the bosses apple.

    When you can show us a documented instance of people misinterpreting the data from this keylogger AND as a result of this misinterpretation you can show actual damages as the law sees damages (and I am talking about documentation that would be acceptable to a court), come back and see us then. Until then, you have nothing. You specifically do not have a civil rights violation.

    Catherine, checked the Alcoa stock lately?

    This is simple.

    Keep your data and your opinions and your personal stuff off computers that don't belong to you.

    Get it?

    Their computers, their hardware, their network infrastructure, their ISP provider. Who are you to question THEM tracking YOU while you use THEIR stuff?

    We never used key loggers but we sure as hell watched our internet proxies for what employees were accessing. As stated, you have no expectation of privacy here.
