THAT IS A BIG FAT LIE! The EU did not force any such thing. The EU simply said that people’s data cannot be used without consent. This is the website asking for consent.

Website developers have a perfectly valid choice not to collect any data. They chose their profits above your privacy.

I have a website and I don’t have a popup asking for consent, because I don’t need to, because I don’t collect any data.

If your company adds it’s own SSL/TLS certificate on every PC, then yes… they can see almost everything.

• Browser traffic? Yes.
• Chat messages? Depends on the program. If it uses the Host OS certificates, then yes.
• Listening in on IP audio and video calls? Theoretically yes.
• AI supported employee sorting based on Union friendliness? You bet.

The buzzword for this is “Next generation firewall” and “TLS decryption”.

Your company does not give shit about customer data or your privacy or rights.
