Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg fired “roughly 20” employees who spilled “confidential information” about the social media giant — weeks after the tech tycoon complained about leaks — and more heads could soon roll,

Meta has fired approximately 20 employees for leaking confidential company information, with additional dismissals expected. The crackdown follows Zuckerberg's complaints about repeated leaks that he claimed were damaging to the company.

Meta on Thursday said it had laid off 20 workers for leaking information to the media, as the social media giant faces pressure over the recent political shift of its boss Mark Zuckerberg towards US President Donald Trump.
