Meta employees are protesting the company's new mouse-tracking software, the Model Capability Initiative (mci), with flyers in US offices and a petition citing the National Labor Relations Act.

UK staff have also launched a unionisation drive with United Tech and Allied Workers.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in leaked audio from an April 30 all-hands meeting, confirmed the company is tracking employee keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train its AI models—and admitted Meta deliberately withheld details to protect its competitive edge. The audio, obtained by More Perfect Union, reveals Zuckerberg justified the surveillance by saying Meta employees are smarter than outside contractors. The disclosure came days before Meta began laying off 8,000 workers.

Meta employees face a bleak outlook with impending layoffs of nearly 8,000 staff. Mandatory tracking software, reduced pay, forced transfers, and a sense of broken trust have created widespread discontent.

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth shut down any hopes of opting out of the company's new AI tracking tool, telling employees directly that there's no choice in the matter. The Model Capability Initiative logs keystrokes, mouse movements, and screenshots on work computers to train Meta's AI agents—all while the company prepares to cut 8,000 jobs.

Meta Platforms is installing new tracking software on US employees' computers to capture mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes. This data will be used to train AI models for tasks like dropdown menus and keyboard shortcuts. Meta assures employees that the data will not be used for performance reviews and safeguards are in place.
