Workplace Consequences of Electronic Exhibitionism and Voyeurism
Abstract:-
The popularity of email, blogging and social networking raises
important issues for employers, employees and labor unions. This
article will explore contemporary workplace issues resulting from
employee use of these technologies to communicate with friends,
colleagues (and strangers). It will begin with a discussion of the
international social phenomenon of individuals electronically
distributing their personal thoughts, opinions and activities to a
potential worldwide audience while at the same time retaining a
subjective sense of privacy. The article will then turn to the legal
implications of employers engaging in surveillance of employee
workplace computer use and employee off-duty blogs and social network
pages. It will also examine the legal issues associated with employers
conducting internet searches for information about job applicants. In
the conclusion, the article will propose legal, policy and
architectural changes aimed at responding to the related social
phenomena of electronic exhibitionism and voyeurism.

I am finishing providing time to reflect on all threads now until the
new year, so in that so friendly and pc way,
Happy Holidays.
