Like even if they have nothing else they could just leak IP is there any law against it ? Or any technical aspect stopping them ?

    Ethically it’d be shitty and people don’t want to be part of an instance with shitty admins so people would migrate away. Technically, nothing unless you’re using a VPN. Welcome to the internet, the same is true for every website

      Also there’s the aspect of just… not caring. As someone who technically could read the email, browse the files, or track the apps installed and used on the phone of nearly any person where I work, any small bit of idle curiousity died before I was done my first day.

      Even if I was nosy, 99% of people are just not that fucking interesting. What would even be the point of abusing my access?

      I’ve seen someone put it like this: male gynecologists don’t get excited looking at lady bits at work.

        I was able to do that for years. For me to give a shit what’s in your email you have to be more interesting than the rest of the internet, which pretty much means you’d have to be doing something at least borderline illegal and have it brought to my attention by someone who noticed it over your shoulder.
