Digital Technologies And Privacy

What are the positive, and negative implications of digital technologies at work to privacy, and security? The use of digital technologies can affect the business, its employees, and the consumer. One aspect of digital technology that is common, is surveillance; if a crime had been committed to the business, its employees, or the consumer, the footage recorded can help with the investigation, right? However, how would this affect the concern for privacy? If an employee doesn’t wish to be under surveillance, don’t they have the right to disagree it? Peggy N. Kerley advises: “Under certain circumstances…monitor[ing] employees…can invade their privacy [my emphasis]…monitoring might also violate state common law or statutory protections worker
privacy”(2002).
Monitoring does depend on the circumstances and law.
