"I never read my wife's message " says Nihas 28 from Kerala ."If there was anything worth sharing ,we would." Even so India ranks a high second for snooping .Meanwhile ,respondents under age 45 reported much more snooping than older ones,and sometimes it was difficult not to give in to suspicion .


Social media snooping refers to an employer's monitoring of employee social media use while at work. Employers may choose to monitor employee social media use because they are concerned about efficiency. There is also the potential risk that employees will post sensitive information or derogatory comments about managers and colleagues.



 Frieda, 46, says, “Snooping is an invasion of privacy and conveys a total lack of trust in your children. Every child needs some privacy, especially as they get older.”
