Public vs. Private is not the issue, to prevent illegal activity the authorities have a right to monitor private spaces. It is entirely a matter of extent, which is why the suggestion of this being comparable to recording cameras in every home is clearly nonsense.
I've read Orwell. He would be pretty depressed if he saw people invoking 1984 at the suggestion companies should take some responsibility for trying to prevent illegal activity occuring through their channels.
