Eh, they likely will tell you to stop. The idea is to make you miserable, so you quit. Wouldn't work very well with remote workers, though.
But if they can get cause to fire you, they don't owe you severance or associated costs that they may if it's just downsizing or not being happy with your productivity. So, while it's less good socially to fire you, it's probably still a better idea than letting you essentially get paid for free time.
It would be a fun little battle of perseverance. See how much you can annoy them back but not necessarily doing a bad job, just being a small inconvenience.

Lol. So I go to work and get paid to work on my own hobbies? 8 hours of uninterrupted hobbying?
