Big Brother is NOT Watching
On Tuesday, Councilman Bill Peduto introduced legislation to change the process through which a supervisor may access a city employee’s emails.
Under the proposed legislation, officials would need to go through a 6-step process, including obtaining the approval of both the city solicitor and the director of City Information Systems, in order to access a city employee’s email account. The employee would also have to be notified that their email had been accessed.
City employees currently receive a pop-up window notification when signing onto their computers which warns that information on that computer may be accessed by a third party.
