Actually, private lawsuits have had some impact, but not as much as you'd think.

D seems off to me; I don’t think the Constitution provides much protection for employees in private sectors regarding monitoring.

I recall a practice question that mentioned lawsuits limiting monitoring, so C could be a contender, but I’m not confident about it.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like B might be misleading. I thought monitoring was pretty broad across most industries, not just specific ones.

I think A is the right answer because I remember reading that employers can pretty much monitor anything as long as they inform employees.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key differences between Pega Web Mashup and Pega API integration before selecting the two scenarios.

This seems like a tricky one, but I think I can work it out. I'll start by eliminating any options that don't seem to fit the question, then focus in on the remaining choices.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the code and think about how the find_end function works with the custom Compare functor.

Lawsuits limiting monitoring? That sounds more like wishful thinking than reality. Option C doesn't sound right to me.

I'm not too sure about that. Isn't there some kind of federal law that restricts workplace monitoring? Option B seems plausible.
