Gravitas: Can you be asked to keep your web cam switched on throughout your shift?

A remote worker based out of the Netherlands was fired from a U.S-based software company after he refused to keep his web cam switched on throughout his shift. The worker moved a Dutch court that went on to rule in his favour. Are employers legally allowed to monitor you? Or Is it a breach of privacy?
