This doesn't make sense. Screen recording is trivial. Why go to this much trouble? I don't buy the "Trojan Horse" argument in this case.

Occam's Razor, folks.




Screen recording is Data.

Being able to perform text-search queries on those is Information.

Having pie charts of "what % of the time did my minions spend on work-related tasks today?" is Knowledge.

What's lacking IMHO, is the Wisdom to ask "just because you can build this technology, should you?"


Recording is trivial.

monitoring at scale, in real time? getting a concise "what did bob do on his computer all day" those are hard.


> Screen recording is trivial

Well yeah, but doing it by default and saving the results in a searchable way for each and every one of your users is not.
