> "If you’re working from home they can pick up audio and visual images of your private life." The jurisdiction of the authors of this article appears to be Victoria, Australia where it is illegal to record audio and visual images of someone's private conversations or private space at home[1] without a law enforcement reason. Similar applies to other jurisdictions of Australia. Aside from the obvious legal problem, I doubt businesses would want to deal with the potential liabilities of recording and storing footage of someone's kid running past a camera in the background of an employee's home without clothes on, or recording a private conversation an employee has with their lawyer relating to a family law matter. Many Australian organisations would also be reluctant to provide their own employee's access to video surveillance footage from cameras in public locations. There would generally only be a small handful of employee's with access to recorded footage. There is a significant possibility of misuse resulting in negative media attention and fines for the organisation. There is also a cost issue. The more an organisation records, the greater the chance they'll have to respond (at their own cost) to a law enforcement request or response to a court proceeding to reveal the footage.
