I might consider agreeing with you, except the app is full of third-party spyware and for-profit tracking software that’s operated by foreign companies.
The problem is that it’s at the office in the first place.
It creates a massive hole in IT security and allows attack vectors to get into government networks and files.
It’s like driving your brand new car into a busy part of town, leaving the keys in the ignition, leaving the door open, and stepping away for hours. And then doing it again the next day, and the day after that, even after each car has been stolen.
In this case its the US government so it ends up being a lot of people’s problem, but in the context of the employer and employee, its all on the employer.
If they screw up the work phone with their requirements, its theirs. If that compromises their IT security, that is also theirs.
None of that makes a lick of difference to the employee unless they use their own device or carry their work phone around outside of working hours.
The reflecting pool was the administration’s fuckup, and they aren’t the ones taking the blame for it. Same here, they will scapegoat others. Our great leaders can never be wrong.
