"Yet the prospect of fine-grained, digital monitoring of workers’ behavior worries privacy advocates. Companies, they say, have few legal obligations other than informing employees. “Whether this kind of monitoring is effective or not, it’s a concern,” said Lee Tien, a senior staff lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco."
"worries privacy advocates"
You have to wonder how objective all these "advocates" really are.
I mean they most certainly must try pretty hard to insure they have a job and a cause by finding any and all situations where they can rally around this issue. Without respect for whether it is really a problem or not in a particular case. (I'm not saying it is or isn't it just bothers me that they pop up to make an issue out of everything).

If a charitable organization is supported primarily by small donations, they will constantly be hyping the new hot Chicken-Little bullshit to the media. If OTOH they get big donations, they will ignore the media and spend all their time as sock-puppets for industry before government panels and oversight boards. This is a general observation, but unfortunately it's true even for organizations I like and have supported, like EFF.
