You don’t necessarily need implicit trust; there are a variety of arrangements for setting up your system’s auditing so that the watchers watch one another; and it’s also a lot easier to come down like a ton of bricks on people you already have full details on and contracts with, rather than hackers unknown or foreign state actors; but even if they maintain professional discretion in terms of not selling you out to the tabloids I suspect that knowing that IT is watching you can be a bit of a downer for certain activities. Probably a bit of a downer for IT, as well, but that doesn’t help you.
