we laugh and make fun and shake our heads at this. We did the same when Elon did what he did during the Twitter take over. Then every other company followed suit.

This is coming for all of us.

Work stuff stays on work property.

Home stuff stays on home property.

Work wants me to use a phone for work, they get me a work phone. Or I dont do it.

Why? If you have ever had to go through discovery, Youd know. Company I worked for got sued by Oracle for bullshit licensing (aws RDS licensed oracle is evidently NOT for commercial use, sigh).

And know what they do for all engineers maintaining? They subpoena EVERYTHING.

If you did personal stuff on work machine, your personal stuff is now in lawsuit scope.

Who in their right minds would trust this...?

Quite objectively, the track record for management demonstrating bad faith and lying about this is deep and long.

> new controls will allow employees to pause the data collection for "up to 30 minutes at a time" as well as request exemptions from the initiative altogether.

If they deny your exemption, make a tool that every 30 minutes fakes a bunch of nonsensical keystrokes for a few seconds, then automatically request another 30 minute pause. If they ever find out and confront you about it, say you’ve always heard Meta leadership encourages “moving fast and breaking things” and “asking for forgiveness instead of permission”, so you were only following the company’s ethos.

Or, you know, quit Facebook if you have the means.

This is a perfect reason to unionize. Individual action is never as powerful as collective action.
