Overview
- Employees distributed protest flyers Tuesday across several U.S. offices, directing colleagues to an online petition and citing federal labor protections under the National Labor Relations Act.
- Meta says the software records cursor movement, clicks and menu navigation to give AI agents real examples of computer use, and the company says safeguards protect sensitive content and limit the data’s use.
- The New York Times reported that Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth told staff there is no opt-out on corporate laptops, reflecting internal anger over mandatory tracking.
- The protest is unfolding about a week before planned cuts of roughly 10% of jobs, and workers say the tracking could help train systems that automate their roles.
- In the United Kingdom, employees have opened a union drive with United Tech and Allied Workers, signaling coordinated organizing alongside the U.S. petition effort.
