This is one of those ‘well, duh’ kind of things. Everything you do online is traceable. The internet is forever. This is not news. This is olds.

A trace of where you’ve been is not available to everyone and archived. Who you see is not even shown to you so the fact they can, although not surprising, is not evident to everyone. What’s more, the employees should not have access to it. What’s news is not that it’s technically feasable, it’s that it is being done and viewed as a perk.
