Data collected on mouse movements, keystrokes, clicks and screenshots will be used to train internal AI tools
Briefing
The FTC's investigation into OpenAI's data practices and Italy's temporary ChatGPT ban established that AI training data sourcing carries regulatory risk. Mandatory employee data collection with no opt-out is a more direct exposure than scraping public web content, raising the jurisdictional risk bar for Meta specifically.
Amazon's warehouse worker monitoring programme, which tracked keystroke-equivalent metrics like pick rates and idle time, faced sustained labor-relations and legislative pressure. That programme was output-focused; Meta's is explicitly training-data-focused, which adds an intellectual property dimension absent from the Amazon precedent.
