Privacy Boundaries– everyone has different standards. Everyone sets “how far is too far” for themselves. But where do I stand? Depends of the specific boundary that is being surpassed.
As for the question, “What if your employer demanded access to all your digital activity so that it could run the data through an algorithm to judge whether you are trustworthy?” I have a very strong opinion on it.
The first key words that stood out for me in that sentence was “demand” and ” judge whether you are trustworthy”. This is the United States of America, you are innocent until you are proven guilty, thus it is a violation of your rights as a citizen that they preform a test to determine if you are trustworthy. That is already passing judgement on a crime that has not even been committed yet — you have the right to a fair trail ONCE THE CRIME HAS ALREADY BEEN COMMITTED.
Not only that, if they are demanding such a thing, they should be reported to the proper authorities and let the justice system overtake it. We have certain laws, and if we want to keep our nation with its original healthy rights and freedom (which has made America the great nation that it is today), we must follow those laws accordingly.
