Like most large, reputable news organizations, I would assume the New York Times does its best to maintain a firewall between their journalistic and business teams. By extension, the Times's writers likely have zero involvement in the practices you're complaining about.
Times Editorial could publish articles criticizing Times Corporate, but while I would be very disappointed if Times Corporate was given a free pass, I don't expect them to receive extra scrutiny either.
And if Times Corporate isn't getting extra scrutiny, how much of a story would there be? The Times's data privacy practices, while not ideal, are nowhere near the level of what's going on at Google and Facebook.
