Meta is Firing About 20 Employees For Leaking

Meta has fired 'roughly 20' employees who leaked 'confidential information outside the company,' The Verge reported Thursday, citing the company. From the report: 'We tell employees when they join the company, and we offer periodic reminders, that it is against our policies to leak internal information, no matter the intent,' Meta spokesperson Dave Arnold tells The Verge. 'We recently conducted an investigation that resulted in roughly 20 employees being terminated for sharing confidential information outside the company, and we expect there will be more. We take this seriously, and will continue to take action when we identify leaks.'
