Reuters says Meta’s employee monitoring tool may capture emails and chats from non-US workers, not just mouse and click activity.
The system, called Model Capability Initiative, reportedly tracks data across more than 200 apps and websites for AI training.
Employees have raised privacy concerns, saying the tool feels like workplace surveillance and broader data collection.
If EU-based communications are included, Meta could face GDPR compliance risks and fresh backlash in Europe.
