Meta Allows 30-Minute Breaks From Employee Tracking for Personal Matters
TL;DR
Meta will let some employees pause its keystroke- and mouse-tracking for up to 30 minutes to handle personal matters, while the majority remain tracked. A limited opt-out is available for remote workers with bandwidth issues, those dealing with sensitive material, or where power supply is a constraint. The tracking, part of the Model Capability Initiative to train AI, has faced protests, and Meta says battery usage has improved.
