Workers have already distributed critical leaflets and created an online petition against the tracking technology.
Employees of Meta are organizing protests internal in the United States: they are against the installation of software mouse movement monitoring and activity in computers of the company.
This initiative was already generating growing tension within the company led by Mark Zuckerberg.
According to the agency, workers distributed flyers in various company offices, calling for the signature of a online petition against tracking technology.
The materials were placed in meeting rooms, vending machines and even bathroomswith messages reviews the collection of labor data for artificial intelligence purposes.
Meta argues that the system is necessary to develop AI agents capable of performing digital tasks similar to those performed by humans. The company claims that the models need real examples of mouse movements, clicks and menu navigation to improve the performance of automated tools.
Despite this, many workers fear that the collection of this data represents not only internal surveillance, but also a step towards automation of your own functions.
And this discontent comes at a particularly sensitive time for the company, which is preparing a deep restructuring internal focus on artificial intelligence.
In recent weeks, Meta announced dismissals equivalent to around 10% of the global workforce, while moving thousands of employees to AI-connected teams. The company intends to invest tens of billions of dollars in this area during 2026, in a technological race that is transforming the sector.
On social networks and online forums, the controversy generated critical reactions, with several users classifying the system as “corporate surveillance” disguised as technological innovation.
