The first thing I did when I was issued a laptop for a job was check for monitoring software of any type. The second thing I did was become extremely suspicious when I couldn’t find any. I suppose the rule is “most likely” or “more often than not” while also being “always assume”.
Sure. Except those on the Left won’t. Couple reasons:
Can’t agree on a reason.
Won’t agree on a where and when.
Will disagree whether it’s worth it right now.
