Tech leader Mark Zuckerberg has dismissed 20 Meta employees following their unauthorized sharing of information with the media.
These terminations occurred shortly after remarks made by Zuckerberg and other high-ranking officials during internal sessions surfaced in news articles.
‘A key principle we communicate to our hires, and reiterate at intervals, is that leaking internal information is against our policies, regardless of the motive,’ a Meta representative stated, acknowledging the job dismissals.
‘After a recent probe, we ended the employment of about 20 individuals for disclosing confidential data beyond the organization, and we anticipate that more actions may follow,’ the firm added.
‘We regard this matter seriously and will persist in taking measures whenever we uncover leaks.’
Meta, which includes social media powerhouses like Facebook and Instagram, has encountered internal unrest since Zuckerberg revealed various policies that critics claimed were aimed at aligning with the new Trump administration.
These changes included the elimination of DEI initiatives and the cessation of fact-checking methods in favor of community notes reminiscent of those utilized on X.
Due to the continual leaks, Zuckerberg informed employees that he would refrain from being transparent with information.
‘We attempt to maintain openness, yet everything I say ends up leaking. It’s frustrating,’ Zuckerberg expressed in a meeting first reported by The Verge.
Ironically, Zuckerberg’s statements were then leaked to journalists, prompting Meta to issue a company-wide alert reminding staff that disclosing information to the media could lead to termination.
