    Highly illegal in the EU. Also highly stupid everywhere else. The big question is “How secure is your user espionage system and can an outsider get acces?”. The data from something like this is a social engineering goldmine.

      I mean, a lot of the places people say stuff like that our government-related jobs, where the emails and internal DMs are recorded as public record. This isn’t as much of an issue in that case.

        Yeah but people are highly aware of it and there is even a disclaimer in Email Signatures that everything is tracked. If you are dealing with government ministries in European countries some of the (unofficial) information exchange is done without written record, either at in-person conferences or even through non-work phones.
