No. It's describing the access and security qualifiers for the DHS computer system. They can and will monitor your access to their systems, but that's where the monitoring ends.
Employers are required to check new hires through the governments everify system to make sure they are legal citizens.
When you go to sign up, this is the agreement you have to sign:
That reads like I am giving DHS free access to absolutely everything in my computer system. Is that how you guys read it?WARNING - You are about to access a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) computer system.

Wouldn't my computer be connected to their computer?There is no expectation of privacy in any media, peripherals or other devices placed in or connected to the computer system.
That would suck to register an employee and then get busted for watching Traci Lords on Pornhub when you didn't know if she was underage at the time.
I like how they say "by clicking I agree" as if you actually have the choice to not agree and not sign up.
Click yes if you've read the entire 30 pages of fine print. ㅁㅇ휴ㅑㅓㅜㅅㄱㅍㅊ
I gather you have no idea how Web apps work?
I agree.
Just tie in an old computer you don't use for anything else.
That may be the intent, but...
There is no expectation of privacy in any media, peripherals or other devices placed in or connected to the computer system.
Context, WC. Accordingly, there can be no expectation of privacy in the course of your use of this computer system. :facepalm
No, I have no idea how homeland security interprets "connected to".
Why would that matter in the context of a Web app?
Of course they can only spy on the contents of your computer while you are connected to them...
Think they are capable of remote viewing?
Wow. You must be bored if you want to argue the semantics of "web app" vs. the HS interpretation of "connected to". I have no intention of playing.
Irrelevant. They can do this whether or not you connect or consent.
But to address CC's question again, No. They are not saying what you think they are saying.
What they may do is an entirely different discussion.
OK. *phew*
*cueing up Traci Lords on Pornhub*
It's not semantics. It's simply that a web app will do what you allow it to do.
I can see why they would put something like that: if you upload the wrong file and it contains tracy lords underage pictures, you can't claim later on that was in error and supposed to be private.
Exactly. They don't need you to connect to their system to do that.
OK, connected to the internet for any spying purposes. But their wording indicated to me they meant "to them" allows such spying by agreement.
That's OK, next time there is a Republican president, you'll suddenly change your mind about what it says.
IMHO Modern Republicans and Democrats both seem to have a shocking disregard for the 4th Amendment.
RINO's are still normally better than Domonrats.
