In which situation can using blind carbon copy (BCC) break trust instead of protecting privacy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When secretly copying a person on an email about a conflict without the other person’s knowledge
BCC can protect privacy when a large group should not see one another’s addresses. However, secretly copying someone into a sensitive conflict email can create hidden communication, reduce transparency, and make participants feel deceived. That misuse differs from a transparent, permission-based inclusion of a relevant person.
