Facebook tracks former employees deemed a threat by using location data collected thru Facebook's apps/websites. "Other companies keep similar lists of threats, but Facebook is unique because it can use its own products to...track the location of people" cnbc.com/2019/02/14/fac…
Sounds like a toxic workplace. Many people on the watchlist are former Facebook employees and contractors "whose colleagues ask to add them [to the watchlist] when they leave the company."
"Some former employees are listed for having a track record of poor behavior, such as stealing company equipment. But in many cases, there is no reason listed...almost every Facebook employee who gets fired is added to the list."
"contractors are added if they get emotional when their contracts are not extended." Facebook insists "Former employees are only added under very specific circumstances, after review by legal and HR, including threats of violence or harassment."
I wonder how long it will take for Facebook to be sued by former employees who were tracked in this way. Can any lawyers weigh in on whether there is a case here?
