Meta fires 20 employees to publish information to the press

By Thursday, Meta has released around 20 employees to spill “confidential information” to the press and other parties outside of Meta.

“We recently carried out an investigation in which around 20 employees were ended to share confidential information outside the company, and we assume that there will be more,” Meta spokesman Dave Arnold told the verge. “We take this seriously and will continue to take measures if we identify licks.”

Arnold said that, when they enter Meta, the company's strict no-leak directive will be made aware of the company that prohibits employees to reveal internal information.

Meta broke off after Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg held an all-hand meeting last month-and a recording that almost immediately reached several branches. On the same day, the verge also received an internal memo that was sent to the employees by Metas Chief Information Security Officer Guy Rosen and warned them of sharing confidential information.

During a company and the answers at the beginning of this month, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth found that the “enormous number of leaks” of the inside of the company warned and the employees warned that Meta made “progress when catching people”. A recording of the meeting also went to the press.

On February 10, Meta carried out performance-based layoffs, which had affected 5% of the 72,000-person workforce or around 3,600 employees who do not meet standards. The cuts were surprised by some affected workers who said they had a “solid” track record of the service in the company.

Meta recently made changes recently how content on Facebook, Instagram and threads with the decision to hide community notes is moderated, a system with which users can write misleading content and explanations, citing their sources. The new system replaces the independent fact check that Meta has set up for eight years.
