Right, so you can opt out of having your email monitored by not working for that company. Also, I'm not sure whether there is yet any precedent on whether such clauses are legal. I would not say it's 99.9% of companies either, perhaps some high percentage of high-tech companies that even realize it's an issue, and which aren't part of the government, where different rules on things like that tend to apply. My basic NAL knowledge of the law would lead me to think any government system (including most schools) would be treading on very thin ice if they monitored your communications without your explicit consent, or without offering you the option of not being monitored. Of course many schools are private, but they could still get in hot water if the parents and students aren't very clear on what's going on. Maybe it's just the whole priest sex scandal thing recently, but I'm picturing some situation where the guy reading all the kids' emails turns out to be a pedophile or something...
