How legal is the interception of https traffic (mitm by replacing the certificate) by the employer?

Question

Law in IT

At work (not related to it), recently a root certificate was forcibly installed on employees' computers to listen for https traffic (McAfee Web Gateway).
How legal is it? I didn't sign any papers.

My reasoning is as follows: the employer has the right to require me to use communication channels only for work purposes (employment contract and labor legislation), but traffic interception is illegal access to personal information (criminal code).

Answer 1

but traffic interception is illegal access to personal information (criminal code).

Where does personal information come from in the workplace?
There, only a working one can be (and should be).
Another thing is if they try to put a similar thing on your personal smartphone or on your personal laptop.

Answer 2

Surveillance of workers without their notice and consent is unacceptable and illegal.
In any form.

Answer 3

There is no personal information at work. There is a communication channel provided to you by your employer for the purpose of fulfilling your job duties. It is exactly the same tool as a computer, a hammer or an oscilloscope and the employer has the right to control how you use the tool that is provided to you to do the job.
This topic has been parsed and re-parsed a hundred thousand million times in tyrnet. People who work at work - they usually don't care about statistics - and mitm is done for two purposes - control of non-working traffic and statistics. People who are much in vkontaktik at work - they always begin to remember about the Criminal Code and some personal information.

Answer 4

Can anyone remember the court precedents?
