Exclusive-Meta employees launch protest against mouse-tracking tech at US offices

▤ Summary

Meta employees distributed flyers across multiple U.S. offices protesting the company’s recent installation of mouse-tracking software on employee computers and urging colleagues to sign an online petition. Staffers framed the tracking as invasive surveillance and argued it effectively helps train systems that could replace human roles, intensifying anger ahead of a planned 10% workforce layoff. Meta defended the technology as necessary to gather real examples of user interactions to build AI agents. The protest also ties into wider labor-organizing efforts, including a UK union drive with United Tech and Allied Workers and references to workers’ rights under the U.S. National Labor Relations Act.
