I have trouble understanding why people get so worked up about it. I don't know what you people use your phones for, but all of my activities are incredibly boring. And the idea that my personal activity or data would be worth the effort to my employer, enough that they actually implement whatever they'd have to implement to snoop on me, is laughable.

I also don't freak out if there's a window open in my bedroom when I'm changing. The chances are small anyone wants to take a peek, and if they do it's not much skin off my back.

So, maybe there are just different kinds of people? The kind that irrationally think everyone is interested in snooping on them, and the kind who have more important things to worry about.



Go ask the ceo of your company for unfettered access to his personal phone and see what he says.
