[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all are ridiculously paranoid.

Of course you can use a work laptop. Who cares. The company isn’t recording your zooms secretly. Imagine it’s a zoom with a doctor for your private medical issues. No chance they are secretly tracking this.

The marginal cost of using the laptop is $0. It’s not like you are driving a company car 200,000 miles.

Absolutely false. Many companies have policies that clearly state they have the right to monitor any and all use of company computers. There is no assumption of or right to privacy with company devices. [/quote]

Sure whatever. And you are off the VPN connecting to a zoom link. You think that laptop is screen and audio recording all day long? Should only take a few hundred gigabytes of data to transmit back to the corporate office every day. For a few thousand laptops. And maybe a couple million dollars having some company weed through the data to find anything of note. And no worries if they inadvertently record your kid walking by naked cause policy says no right to privacy and policy definitely trumps federal law.

So now let’s say they find out you visited a zoom link at 4pm. Along with a hundred other zoom links that week, a few thousand webpages, hundreds of emails, chats, messages, and files. Let’s say they somehow find that needle anyway. Okay so they have a link to a zoom call. A link that no longer works. Now what? They spend a few hours trying to figure out where it came from? Who sent it ? Why it got sent to you? That maybe it was an interview? How incredibly bored do you think the IT staff are?
