Meta tracks worker keystrokes
Staff members have expressed outrage over the 'dystopian' move, with many questioning whether they can opt out of the constant monitoring.

The initiative has sparked a wider debate about employee privacy and the ethics of using a workforce's own actions to develop the technology that may eventually replace them.
Labor advocates are closely monitoring the situation as other tech firms consider similar strategies to gain an edge in the AI arms race.
