European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rules on reading data during working hours

    Indi article is here but the key part is this:
    The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) said a company that read a worker's Yahoo Messenger chats sent during work hours was within its rights.

    Judges said he had breached the company's rules and that his employer had a right to check on his activities.
    Judges dismissed the man's request, they said it was not "unreasonable that an employer would want to verify that employees were completing their professional tasks during working hours".
    That's quite accommodating and I can see the boards.ie activity being reduced during working hours now :P
