If I understand you correctly. You, and the company monitor your employees. If one of your employees sends for example, a racist email, and you've seen it, and not notified the authorities, you, and the company then become responsible also, as it it were a partner in crime. How does that go if you arn't monitoring your employees Internet activity? Are you/the company still responsible legally for what your employees do on their machines while at work?
