4. That makes perfect sense...

We are now in stage called surveillance capitalism, (look it up if you want to know more) and there will be a push for more and more invasions of privacy and draconian measures to surveil employees and consumers.

When the NLRB promotes or encourages that, it is a serious threat to the population and that needs to be addressed and countermanded or we go farther down that rabbit hole which may be endless. In other words, they more they can invade privacy on more fronts, the more that influence, power and control they will have up to the point of making reversals of these kinds of infractions more difficult and/or impossible.

As capitalism reaches its apocalyptic phase, it is seemingly innocuous decisions like this that take on a very dark and threatening aura and this is a play for keeps and winner takes all environment, which tends to reflect the Fascist/oligarchical approaches and policies of the GOP/Trump which is clearly a threat to democracy in the long-run.
