Meta Fires 20 Employees for Leaking Confidential Information

The company warns of further terminations as it cracks down on leaks following internal policy violations.

Meta terminated approximately 20 employees for leaking confidential information, with more firings expected as investigations continue.
The leaks included internal meeting details and unannounced product plans, prompting Meta to change its meeting formats to limit information dissemination.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed frustration over leaks, stating they undermine transparency and harm the company’s operations.
The firings occur alongside broader organizational changes, including layoffs of 4,000 employees, cuts to DEI programs, and a shift in content moderation policies.
Zuckerberg's recent alignment with former President Trump, including easing content restrictions and ending fact-checking programs, has drawn scrutiny and internal dissent.
