Meta Halts Employee Monitoring Program After Internal Data Exposure
By
Paresh Dave
Summary
Meta is pausing its employee tracking program (Model Compatibility Initiative) after an internal security issue exposed potentially sensitive data collected through the initiative to other workers. The program, rolled out in April to US employees, collects computer inputs such as mouse movements, click locations, and keystrokes. While Meta claims no data was improperly accessed, the company is pausing the program to investigate the security lapse.
