"We will monitor all our users and sell their meta data to advertisers, but we draw the line at Meta tracking our mouse clicks!"

WAAH!

How's it feel, motherfuckers!?

Do Meta employees tell people where they work, or do they hide it the way people hide that they're MAGA. You know, because who would want to fuck a Meta employee?

This always happens.

A company that acts without empathy for their customers will invariably act the same towards their employees. This is because the behavior is usually driven by personalities in leadership that (dis)function this way rather universally. Add the fact that empathy limits one's ability to make money (in this economy), and that psychological modeling is a thing in the workplace, and it's easy to see how we keep getting into trouble like this.

There really isn't an "at the right hand of the devil" scenario. Everyone is in his path, especially if you're close.

Oh you work for Zuckerberg? Fuck you.

This is kinda funny because I'm getting into Fluent Search (Windows) and (trying to make) Hints (Linux) (work), so the company wouldn't be able to collect as much data on me if my workplace were to start doing this for any reason (though that's not the reason I'm trying these programs).

OK, so, I hate Meta and offer no sympathy. But, if I were hypothetically in that scenario, I would work very hard to develop a keyboard centric workflow. Sure, they can key log everything, but it's going to be way more annoying for them to go through tons and tons of TAB strokes.

hey meta slaves.... they are doing this to your home personal computers too... if not now, just wait and they will.

I bet most of not all of you also have corpo mics and cameras in your home...

In the UK, a group of Meta employees has started organizing a drive for unionization with United Tech and Allied Workers (UTAW), a branch of the Communication Workers Union.

Alright! Not holding my breath (will they just close the UK office?), but wishing them luck.

Imagine working for a company who is actively harming modern society. A complete detriment to civilization.

Now suddenly "Big Brother" bothers you?

Go fuck yourself.

Meta employees distributed flyers at multiple U.S. ‌offices on Tuesday to protest the company's recent installation of mouse-tracking software on their computers, according to photos of the pamphlets seen by Reuters. The flyers, which appeared in meeting rooms, on vending machines and atop toilet paper dispensers at the Facebook owner's offices, ​encouraged staffers to sign an online petition against the move.

The flyers the organizers put up say:

"Don't want to work at the Employee Data ​Extraction Factory?"

It's funny how they have to specify "employee data extraction factory", because they all already know they work at a data extraction factory, but it wasn't affecting them just yet.

I also love the idea that Meta is saying it needs to know which buttons the employees press to train the AI to work. I would bet there are virtually no applications that Meta employees use that don't have some kind of API. Having an AI click buttons is the most error prone and least efficient way for them to be used. I don't work in AI, so maybe the they plan to use that to somehow reinforce the API use (when a person would click the send button you should add the snippet to send the message), but I can't imagine that's more helpful than raw code analysis. People make mistakes and backspace, they idle, they have trouble navigating menus. Maybe in a more focused situation the information would be helpful, but I don't understand why you'd train a bot to use a computer like a person. I feel like this is asking for resignations so they don't have to do as many layoffs.
