I agree, but since I live in a country where my every move on all public transport systems modes is monitored by CCTV, why wouldn't I?
I can see countries like Germany, where people value their privacy more than we in UK appear to, may object and there would be many others around the world that may have similar attitudes.
Something has to be done as otherwise companies and their employees acting entirely reasonably will all too easily be taken to the cleaners by social media warriors and outright opportunists looking to make a fast buck.
On a separate point, many "public" places in UK, in particular shopping centres operated by INTU have prominent signs prohibiting filming, and also I recall MAG operated East Midlands Airport had / have similar signing prominent within airside areas of the terminal.
