Meta layoffs: 26 ex-employees sue, allege medical info was used to target them

Twenty-six ex-Meta employees are taking the company to court, claiming that during the recent layoffs, Meta used AI to unfairly target vulnerable workers, including those with medical conditions. They argue that the automated system unfairly assessed their performance, leading to their termination. Meta has vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that all decisions were made by humans. The lawsuit comes as CEO Mark Zuckerberg admits that the company miscalculated the impact and timing of the layoffs, adding to the scrutiny on how tech firms handle workforce reductions.
