@dogzilla@masto.deluma.biz I'm fine with that. People should already know the best practice is not to mix work and private communications. Don't use the employer provided phone for anything but work. And don't use personal phone for work. But people will skip that for convenience. And it has bitten some of them in the arse. In the case of the USA, we all were screwed when Hillary Clinton didn't want to have two phones and two email accounts.

@timo21@mastodon.sdf.org Honestly, we all complain about living in a surveillance economy, but we act as if we still have privacy.

I think everyone should at least be aware of what’s private and what isn’t, and this is probably something most people wouldn’t consider.
