Assignment #2A: Internet Privacy and the Workplace
Due: Monday, 6/12/2016 @ 11:59 PM
I have decided to squeeze just a little more out of the topic of Internet privacy, by extending our
discussion to the Internet and the workplace. Because members of the class might or might not
have sufficient work experience to have run up against this issue, I am taking the liberty of
directing you to two specific topics that come under the general idea of the “internet in the
workplace.” First, you should address the practices of some companies and employers of
monitoring the Internet usage of their employees. Specifically, I would be interested in hearing
from you about the types of keystroke-monitoring software, as well as other computermonitoring software, that some employers use to keep tabs on their employees. Your research
should aim to discover the names and types of software used by employers, the extent of the
practice of computer monitoring by employers, and any reports that you could find in the media
about legal issues that have arisen for employers and/or employees because of these practices.
After you have reported on this factual research, I would like to get your opinion on these
practices – whether or not you think they are effective, ethical, overly intrusive, or useful for
employers to detect fraud and other “misadventures.”
Second, I would like you to find out how employers use social media inquiries, such as
Facebook, to find out things about either their employees or jobseekers. Again, once you find
what you think is a pattern or not, your opinion on this practice would be interesting to me.
As before, just email back to me with your submission (remember, I expect your work to be
typed into a Word document), and use ETM 300 or ETM 200 in the subject line.
