I am not aware of any doctrine or body of law that states this.

This sound's pretty harsh and arbitrary and seems unlikely to advance 
any coherent goal.

I oppose censorship and favor employee privacy, but I also think that 
legal rules should make sense.

Frankly I question whether laws of this sort actually exist. They 
should be changed if they do.  Please advise.
