- as evidenced by this article, and some of the posts here, people who haven’t gotten used to permanent surveillance do have an expectation of privacy. And cameras are different than people watching you because it’s one-way, and at scale.
- allowing people to do minor personal tasks at work is expected in a professional career such as journalism. It’s not a sweatshop, peoples’ productivity doesn’t neatly correlate with hours worked anyway. And you’re expected to be readily available outside of work hours anyway, so this should cut both ways.
- shooting happen within just a few minutes and the effect of cameras is debatable, especially if there is no armed and trained security.
- The NYT is a sort of high value target. I would not expect to get into their offices without proper ID.
- Is there some epidemic of false harassment claims everyone is worried about? As far as I know there was one case that had consequences at the Times (Glenn Thrush) and he admitted to the behavior. Also like 90% of harassment is verbal, which cameras don’t capture. The rest seems to happen in hotel rooms and bars, which these cameras also don’t address.
