Meta staff can pause workplace tracking for 30 minutes at a time

What happened: Meta has introduced a new option allowing employees to temporarily stop data tracking during work for up to 30 minutes. This change was revealed in an internal memo.

Why it matters:

  • Gives employees some control over their privacy during working hours.
  • Highlights ongoing concerns about workplace surveillance in the tech industry.

MNN Take: The update reflects a balance between company monitoring needs and employee privacy, though the limited pause duration suggests tracking remains largely continuous.
