That is the only news here: "Shitty spying company also is a shitty spying employer".
Don't think the systems are bad because they can be used in bad ways, they are usually used as intended and provide you safety benefits in your everyday life.
Some help, some just bloat budget (and a power of a security wing) or would be abused. Pre 9\11 world looks insane now with so many survelliance systems and checks absent. Yet, it wasn't as dangerous as one may believe.
One needs a sober evaluation of what is really needed, if adding more layers of security to mundane things is better than other measures, are they statistically effective at preventing danger or harm. Would a dedicated villain be stopped by it?
The more we fear, the more we reduce ourselves to walking narrow paths completely naked.
