They also lower the standard of people's lives (more garbage on the bandwidth,
more pointless shite to ignore in an email...). Has any institution ever
actually gotten in trouble for something an employee has sent? I guess an
un-trustable employee might be able to cause some trouble - Guess what - An
untrustable employee in your business can cause a lot more problems a lot
quicker.
You don't see companies who actually know how to use technology adding these
shitty disclaimers onto the end of their emails, i.e. technology companies.
