New Office Snitch Alert! πŸ™„

Starting tomorrow, Microsoft Teams will be rolling out its new feature which can track your location using the office Wi-Fi.

Will this make knowing whose in office or surveillance easier? We say both.

Why would a normal human being interested to know someones location? Beside from Microsoft tracking and maybe selling that information -> that is creepy! Imagine: They think how can we track our users or let's sell user data, since our users are only a way to get us more money. Imagine you are thinking about making effort to stalk people or sell their private data. That is a sick behaviour or way to think! For them the tracking or money comes before their users.

Don't give them power.

Scary!

Also, you used "whose" when you should've used "who's". It was confusing.

Edit: It's a good thing Mastodon allows posts to be edited after they've been sent. You can edit your post to correct your grammar mistake.

On the other hand, your IT department knows where you are already, so it's only replicating what's already known, except they's probably screw it up...

why wifi? does that mean cable is safe? why not check this ip based to see if residential or corp?
in reply to Tuta

I mean, companies can already tell of you are in the office using the IP right ? How is this anything new ? Macbooks have GPS, and I bet a lot of corp compliance tools track that. Its still an invasion of privacy but worker monitoring isn't a new thing this will enable, if your employer is toxic they are probably already doing it.

Thank you for sharing this article!

Do you know whether this is a global release, or will it only take effect in particular jurisdictions?

Asking for me, a GDPR enjoyer here in the EU.

Every day Microsoft reminds me all their stuff needs to reside in a VM on a Linux machine.
