I think this is the judgement: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.clujust.ro&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;CASE-OF-BARBULESCU-v.-ROMANIA.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.clujust.ro&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;CASE-OF-BAR...</a><p>&gt; EDIT: On a side note, anyone else notice how the article names the ex-employee and not the employer?<p>That&#x27;s weird.  This particular court case is him vs Romania, not him vs his employer.  The earlier cases, in Romania, would have been him vs the employer.<p>There are many reports of this case, and most of them do the same thing:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2016-01-12&#x2F;companies-can-snoop-on-you-during-working-hours-court-decides" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2016-01-12&#x2F;companies-...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rt.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;328755-echr-employee-messages-snooping&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rt.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;328755-echr-employee-messages-snoopi...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sputniknews.com&#x2F;europe&#x2F;20160113&#x2F;1033075519&#x2F;eu-court-private-messages-employer-snooping.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sputniknews.com&#x2F;europe&#x2F;20160113&#x2F;1033075519&#x2F;eu-court-p...</a><p>&gt; The case dates back to 2007 when Bărbulescu was informed by his employer that his Yahoo Messenger communications had been monitored from 5 to 13 July 2007 and that the records showed he had used the Internet for personal purposes.<p>&gt; Barbulescu replied in writing that he had only used the service for professional purposes. He was presented with a transcript of his communication including transcripts of messages he had exchanged with his brother and his fiancee relating to personal matters such as his health and sex life.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.express.co.uk&#x2F;life-style&#x2F;science-technology&#x2F;634269&#x2F;WhatsApp-Facebook-Employer-Romania-European-Court-of-Human-Rights" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.express.co.uk&#x2F;life-style&#x2F;science-technology&#x2F;63426...</a>
