Coffee machine camera at Amazon warehouse raises concerns about surveillance in the workplace
A worker accidentally discovered that a touchscreen on a coffee vending machine had taken photos of the breakroom.
"Amazon spokesperson Alisa Carroll said a malfunction caused the camera to take photos. [...] But Carroll added that Amazon offers the coffee to employees free of charge and has no practical use for the camera. The cameras cannot capture audio, she added."
