Build a Rocket Boy se enfrenta a demandas por software de vigilancia

Empleados de la desarrolladora de MindsEye, Build a Rocket Boy, representados por el sindicato IWGB Game Workers Union, han iniciado acciones legales alegando la instalación de software de vigilancia invasivo Teramind en sus dispositivos de trabajo sin su conocimiento. El sindicato afirma que el software vulneró las leyes de protección de datos al grabar a los trabajadores en sus hogares. Esto se suma a una queja presentada en marzo por 40 miembros del personal y a reclamaciones independientes sobre los despidos previstos para 2025.

El sindicato Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) anunció el 21 de abril que los trabajadores de Build a Rocket Boy (BARB) han iniciado procedimientos por violaciones de la protección de datos. La dirección había instalado Teramind, descrito por el sindicato como un software que excedía la supervisión legítima al capturar imágenes de los individuos en sus domicilios sin su consentimiento. Según el IWGB, la empresa retiró el software tras una queja colectiva, pero se negó a atender las demandas de información sobre los datos recopilados, su uso y los motivos de la instalación.
