Most people don't understand how that works, and it can be hilarious to watch the effects. About 10 years ago (just after AT&T bought the company that I have since retired from), my colleagues were all very confused about what it meant when we were warned that they *did* monitor network traffic. A couple people actually thought it was just a hollow threat, and eventually did get fired for repeatedly downloading loveography onto company computers after they had been given very specific personal warnings; which is about the dumbest way to get into trouble I can imagine.
But where I worked we all *shared* four or five computes running OS-2. Hence it was not possible to even know specifically who was doing any particular thing. So about the time that everyone was getting nervous, I just couldn't resist the temptation. I pulled up a web browser left it sitting there displaying the Playboy Magazine homepage for an hour or two! (An action that is guaranteed *not* to get anyone doing the monitoring excited; but was equally effective at scaring the wits out of everyone who didn't know that.)
Talk about sending people over the edge!
