Meta’s Employee Mouse Tracking Program Could Reportedly Violate EU Privacy Laws
Meta’s employee mouse tracking program, called the Model Capability Initiative (MCI), could potentially violate the European Union’s GDPR privacy laws by capturing data, including emails and chats, not only of US employees but also involving non-US colleagues. While Meta claims it has mitigated privacy risks and notified affected employees, legal experts warn that even limited data collection of EU employees without proper disclosure and legal basis may breach regulations. Additionally, employees have raised concerns about the tool’s impact on their data usage and its role in training AI models that could replace them.
