Big Brother is watching us

Apparently if you say something, even as a joke, that could be construed in a certain way, in your LiveJournal, the Secret Service could show up on your doorstep. This is very much not funny, and very scary.

The rules are very grey in this area. If you tell your employees you have the right to snoop right off the bat, you have the upper hand. If you don't, they can probably sue you for invasion of privacy. But in the instance where the manager stole a password to sneak into the employee's file, the employee was basically complaining about his job and telling people not to look for work there.

Is that slander? Doubtful.
