Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Employees are hired to work, not to surf the Web. Recreational on-the-job Web surfing is thought to cost billions of dollars in lost work productivity annually. Watching online video clogs corporate computer networks, making the transmission of business-related data slower. Employers don't want to risk being sued for creating a hostile work environment because of offensive messages or an inappropriate image on a coworker's computer screen. Concerns about racial or sexual harassment are one reason companies might want to monitor or keep back-up copies of all e-mail. Managers want to ensure that company secrets are not being leaked.
