Respuesta :

Answer:

C. None of the choices

Explanation:

Answer:

c. none of the choices

Explanation:

The decision of Data Sales Company to install software that will block access to certain sites will not be held in violation of any of the above by a court of the law.

The company is a private company and their decision is governed by the suspicion that its employees waste valuable working hours viewing unrelated online sites. The restriction on visits of certain sites do not violate the Electronic Communication Privacy Act which is a law that forbids electronic surveillance of individuals by tapping of phones and other electronic gear.

The restriction also does not violate the employee's reasonable expectation of privacy because according to it, employees should not expect total privacy in their work place and because the company is a private one, it restricted their visits on certain websites rather than spying on them.

The First Amendment of the United States explicitly deals with freedom of religion and expression, so the correct answer is C, None of the above.
