Meta Under Fire as Employee-Led Protest Over Laptop Surveillance Goes Mainstream

A group of Meta engineers, both in the US and the UK, have taken to internal platforms to express their discontent with the company’s pervasive use of surveillance technology on employee laptops. The software, which tracks keystrokes and mouse activity, has sparked widespread concern among staff who feel it erodes their right to privacy. In a move that highlights the growing tensions between corporate security measures and individual freedoms, the protesters are calling for greater transparency and regulation around such practices.
