Kalley Huang, Eli Tan, and Kate Conger report:
In an internal post last month, Meta told its U.S. employees that it was making a change that would affect tens of thousands of them.
What employees typed into their computer, how they moved their mouse, where they clicked and what they saw on their screen would be tracked, Meta said. The goal, the company said, was to capture employee data so Meta’s artificial intelligence models could learn “how people actually complete everyday tasks using computers.” [emphasis added]
Many workers immediately revolted. In online comments, they blasted the tracking as a privacy violation, calling it antisocial and callous.
“This makes me super uncomfortable,” an engineering manager wrote in a comment in response to the announcement, which was reviewed by The New York Times. “How do we opt out?”
