Meta fires 20 employees for sharing confidential information

Meta has terminated about 20 employees for sharing confidential information outside the company, according to a spokesperson.

These dismissals followed an internal investigation, and the company warned that further action may occur if additional leaks are found.

Meta spokesperson Dave Arnold emphasized that employees are reminded that leaking internal information, regardless of intent, violates company policy.

He said that the company is committed to addressing leaks and will continue to take necessary actions.

Meta has not disclosed details about the specific information that was leaked, the identities of those involved, or who received the information.
