If I understand right, it is tracking work software. So work PCs. I had already assumed anything in a work setting can be used against me. It doesn't make it right, but this won't change my behavior. I already assume corpo-degeneracy is afoot anytime I touch work-tech.
I was military before my first civilian job.
We had that lesson beat into our heads repeatedly, and yet there were still people who never quite picked up on it.
We had the consent to monitoring pop-up every single time we logged onto a government computer, and then had that consent to monitoring explicitly spelled out every three months as we had to complete a computer based training program.
For some people, it still didn't take.
All that said, this particular thought crime detection effort is creepy as fuck.
