Sr. Systems Admin here. IT does not give 2 shits about what you browse UNLESS something is reported or something trips our Alerts (has to be something major like Child Porn).
We don’t sit there and actively monitor and watch what you are browsing. We investigate when something is reported by a worker or an Alert/Filter gets tripped
Second. I once had a staff member come to me all embarrassed because someone sent a dick pick via some dating app while they was on our corporate wifi. I was like, “I promise we don’t care”.
That only applies to work devices. If you’re using your personal device, they would be able to see traffic to/from a dating website but not the actual content.
Yeah, but the it’s a good rule anyway, for some of the same reasons as the “Don’t put it in an email if you wouldn’t want it read aloud in a deposition” rule.

HR also doesn’t know unless we tell them.

I mean, its HTTPS right?
Https is no match for work monitoring: pre-installed software, certs.

Pre installed certs would be a huge vulnerability
Depends on the company size and the people above IT. Sometimes the boss is a chode and demands everyone be supervised like children constantly.

Probably for audit/investigation reasons.
IT generally doesn’t care (doesn’t want to care) but you still shouldn’t do personal stuff on work machines/profiles.
