Meta employees protest corporate laptop surveillance tracking keystrokes and mouse activity

An engineer's internal post protesting Meta's employee surveillance software went viral within the company on May 14, according to WIRED. Employees in the US and UK are organizing against corporate monitoring tools that track keystrokes, mouse movements, and other activity on company-issued laptops. The surveillance is reportedly being used to measure productivity and potentially feed data into AI training pipelines. The backlash adds to growing tensions between Meta's workforce and leadership, particularly as the company prepares for significant layoffs.
