Meta is taking strict action against employees responsible for leaking internal discussions after private remarks from CEO Mark Zuckerberg were made public. During a company meeting on Thursday, Zuckerberg expressed frustration over the frequent leaks of internal conversations, admitting, “We try to be really open and then everything I say leaks. It sucks.” However, his complaints were almost immediately leaked, intensifying concerns over internal security.

Following the breach, Meta’s Chief Information Security Officer, Guy Rosen, issued a firm warning, emphasising that the company takes such leaks seriously and will not hesitate to fire employees involved. In a memo obtained by The Verge, Rosen made it clear that Meta will take “appropriate action, including termination,” against those responsible, highlighting the broader consequences of unauthorised disclosures.

The controversy arises as Meta faces growing scrutiny over its shifting political stance and ties to former president Donald Trump. In December, the company donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund, a departure from its past policies. Additionally, reports suggest that Meta will pay Trump $25 million to settle a lawsuit related to his previous ban from the platform.

During Meta’s Q4 earnings call on Wednesday, Zuckerberg openly praised Trump’s administration, stating that the current U.S. leadership supports American tech companies and their global interests. As Meta cracks down on internal leaks and navigates political challenges, the company faces increasing scrutiny over its evolving direction.
