Here is where they had an intimate relationship and discussed such over SMS…using the mobile devices provided to them by the city, their employer.

As it turns out, the city contracts with a specialized service to handle the wireless communications between city officials where every conversation/transaction is tracked and recorded. This is, we are told, to protect the city from potential liability.

Move forward, affair takes place, and all communications between these two are made public. All language was made public.

Talk about some scary scenarios involving privacy, this one leaps right to the front.

Can we expect privacy while using our employers communication tools, including mobile devices and PCs?
