04:07 AM EDT, 05/13/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Meta (META) employees held an internal protest against the installation of mouse-tracking systems at various offices in the US, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing pamphlets seen by the news outlet.

People working in the company distributed flyers urging their colleagues to join a digital petition against the data collection practices, the news outlet reported.

The labor action surfaced approximately one week before the social media company is reportedly expected to lay off 10% of its workforce.

Meta did not immediately respond to MT Newswires'request for comment.
