Meta pauses AI training program tracking employee keystrokes after internal leak

Good. Hope this initiative fails spectacularly.

Using employees instead of contractors because they produce higher-quality data sounds less clever after you leak the employees' data.

Keyloggers collect sensitive data? Some really sharp insight coming out of FB HQ here Stupid plan yields stupid results

This leak coming after all the reassurances that the intitiative passed privacy review and wouldn't be a leak risk is soo damning. Not only have the employees lost faith in the executive's integrity, but their basic competency as well.

Whether you're a consumer, employee, or enterprise IT, in today's data-rich world, it can be difficult to tell if your information is really being stored securely. I'm therefore proud to announce my new, AI-powered startup to help you navigate the modern privacy landscape. It's called Nope™. If you're concerned about privacy, make sure Nope™ is the first thing you think of. It's easy to get started! Whenever you find yourself asking, "Is this company really storing my data securely?", your next thought should be: "Nope™"

It really makes you wonder why anyone still wants to work there. The only reason I can imagine people are staying is because they're afraid they can't get work anywhere else.
