Recording the actions and information of private individuals is an entirely different, unrelated matter.

It depends a bit on what you consider a private individual to be. Corporations are included in Wikileaks mission. Wikileaks itself announced that the next target is a big US bank.
Wikileaks also battled big corporations in the past.
To read from Wikileaks mission statement:
Wikileaks will accept restricted or censored material of political, ethical, diplomatic or historical significance.
If someone posts such material on Wikileaks, they promise that they will release it.
A webcam of your bedroom won't qualify under those standards.
The interesting thing is that the decisions about what should be public gets transfered to individuals within organisations who witness wrong doing. Average people who work in government or business get empowered to leak wrong doing.
The playing field gets leveled. Power gets more evenly distributed.
