> My private employer requires us to login with our credentials to view communications from our CEO. Seems shady to me.

I assume the last sentence was insincere.

Your employer requires you to log in to view internal communications. Not public. And citizens employ the government. Not vice versa.

Worse is having to personally agree to third-party privacy policies to use tools at work. For example, if you use google docs, you have to agree to google's privacy policy, which can match at work and outside work behavior.

schools do the same thing, but 1000% worse.

Oh, and online tax stuff or dmv? all logs into google.
