passage 1
P1
Most office workers assume that the messages they send to each other via electronic mail are as private as a telephone call or a face-to-face meeting. ████ ██████████ ██ ██████ ████████ ██ ██ ███████ ██ ████ █████ ███ ██ ████████ ██ █████████ ██ ███████ █████████████ ██ █████████ ████████████ ██ ████ ████ █████ ██ █ █████████████ █████████████████ ███ ██ █████ █████ █████████ ██████████ █████ ██ █████ ███ ████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████████ ████ █████████████ ██████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ████ ███████████ █████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████████ ████
Intro to Issue ·

Public Sector (Government) ·
Are government emails private?
If yes, then they can destroy them and deny public access.
Proposition ·
Yes, because there are paper versions that the public can access
Opposition ·
No, because the paper versions are incomplete; emails contain more information

Private Sector (Business) ·
Are private sector employees's emails private?
Example ·
Not private
Two employees talk shit over email about their boss. Boss finds out. Fires them. Judge rules in favor of company because the computers were company property hence boss had right to read anything on it.

Law ·
No privacy for "inside" interception
Law sometimes protects against third party eavesdropping but not when the third party is an "insider." So the police (outsider) can't eavesdrop on you but your boss (insider) can.
Exception ·
Reasonable expectation of privacy
If you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, then privacy could trump. But there is no absolute guarantee.
Solution ·
Encrypt messages
If you're an employee and want privacy, you may just have to encrypt your emails. But that's a huge pain in the butt.
