Meta employees have launched a protest against the company's installation of mouse-tracking software on their computers, distributing flyers across U.S. offices to oppose the move. The protest comes as Meta plans to cut 10% of its workforce, approximately 8,000 employees, amid a broader industry trend of layoffs. The flyers, which reference the U.S. National Labor Relations Act, urge employees to sign an online petition against the software, which records mouse movements and clicks.
The protest highlights growing discontent among Meta employees over the company's AI-driven workforce restructuring. Some employees have partnered with the United Tech and Allied Workers union in the UK to formalize their opposition. Meta's Model Capability Initiative, which collects data to train AI agents, has been criticized for its lack of transparency and potential to replace human roles. Meta defends the initiative as necessary for developing AI that can assist with everyday tasks, but employees remain concerned about privacy and job security.
