Meta Pauses Keystroke-Tracking Program After Security Breach Exposes Employee Data

Meta suspended an internal program that captured employee keystrokes and mouse movements for AI training after a high-priority security incident exposed the collected data on June 24, 2026. The program, launched in April, had already faced organized employee protests by May. The exposure potentially included credentials and confidential communications. Meta had implemented limited pause and exemption controls in early June but paused the entire initiative only after the security breach was formally reported.
