Meta has scaled back its plans to collect data on employees' mouse movements, keystrokes, and other actions for AI training due to strong opposition from staff. A new control feature allows employees to pause data collection for 30 minutes at a time and apply for exemptions. The development team has also optimized measures to reduce the impact on computer battery life. Previously, Meta announced the installation of tracking software on U.S. employees' computers, sparking dissatisfaction among staff and potentially exacerbating its regulatory challenges in the EU.
