This is the case in France, and you&#x27;re even allowed to use work equipment for personal things as long as it is done in a reasonable amount.<p>For instance, reading news articles on your work computer browser, browsing your personal facebook account, either during a break or for a few minutes a day, will be seen as reasonable.
On the other hand, if you spend 6hrs out of 8 doing personal stuffs, the employer can use this against you.<p>I also assumed this kind of usage would be protected by a court like the European Court of Human Rights, but I was wrong.
