Meta is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees’ computers ​to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its artificial intelligence models, part of a broad initiative to build AI agents ‌that can perform work tasks autonomously, the company told staffers in internal memos seen by Reuters.

As far as I could tell, they weren't when I worked there. Then again, I was the only person I knew who had a Linux workstation, and one running Wayland at that, so it may have been present on the Mac and Windows machines and I just never knew about it.
