I wouldn't say not obliged, entitled to a position. They advertised for a position, you convinced them you're a fit for the position. They've chosen you out of a pool of candidates that suites the job. They offer you a employment contract detailing the role, and responsibilities. You accept said contract and term's or write counter proposal. After accepting the position you shut up and do your job you where hired to do.
Maybe you should re-read the article and you'd realize it was NOT a job they signed up to do. If only people read the articles instead of leaping to defend face-less huge corporations.
Whats so hard to grasp? Some people seem to be jumping to conclusion on this. You're hired for a position that is detailed out in your EMPLOYMENT contract. If you get to your job and find out you have to kill kittens instead of the job description YOU'RE choosing to carry out the task. No one is forcing you to do it. On moral grounds and ethical ground I would resign instantly and contact the authority of the kind of material stored on the server.
Not going to repeat myself about whether it's a choice. There's better comments in this thread.
>and contact the authorize of the kind of material stored on the server.
Uh, I don't think you understand how this works. I'm sure if you tell the FBI that Microsoft works to remove child pornography from OneDrive and report the offenders they're going to say "Okay...?".
You're hired for a position to perform administration of OneDrive accounts. You're not hired to remove `Child pornography` from one drive or look at that shit. Its night and day that it's completely out of scope of the job description. The next step is simple you talk with your manager that the content viewed is out of scope of the scope of works in the contract (border line criminal material) that you refuse to view the content during the course of your work.
