(8,999 posts)we had domain access that allowed us the see everyone's documents on the network. We had to sign documents that we were forbidden to snope and share and our German HQ had a serious problem when lawyers needed emails from our employees in a lawsuit. In Germany, it was against company policy because of citizen privacy laws there but in the US, we had the patriot act so they had to comply with our requests.
I'll never forget our firewall admin that had found child porn coming into our network and followed it all of the way to the employees' computer. He said in order to get the guy fired (and prosecuted) he had to supply the police force with the photos and videos the guy had downloaded. He said to me "I'll never be able to un-see those photos." It disturbed him and I get shivers just remembering the look in his eyes when he said it.
