MODERATORS
They can monitor anything they want.
They could even force you to connect to a mainframe instead of your own computer in order to work, and only allow you to click on 3 allowed buttons if they wanted to.
It is their hardware, they can do what they want.

Well, since I am IT, I am not about go to snitch on myself.
Only tangentially relevant, human beings get along better with their agenda (that is, are more productive) when they're freely allowed to check email and their lemmy feeds, shop on Amazon and whatever other social media stuff they do. In fact, studies have shown an improvement when they drag overly-focused clerks to their mandated coffee breaks (actual coffee optional).
So if you're getting into trouble for chatting with your kids, or answering emails or resupplying your household with dog food, that might be an indicator your work environment is toxic and you might want to keep looking out for better offers.
Also when game dev teams are crunched, their productivity drops below 50%. When they're crunched for more than two weeks, it drops below 10%. So don't crunch your devs.
I won't even connect to a wireless network at work with my phone without VPNing to my home network to browse. People use their work computers to browse for personal reasons? They are all.
