「MindsEye」を開発するBuild a Rocket Boyの従業員は、IWGBゲーム労働組合の支援を受け、勤務用端末に同意なく侵入的な監視ソフトウェア「Teramind」をインストールされたとして法的措置に踏み切りました。同組合は、このソフトウェアが自宅にいる従業員を記録していたとして、データ保護法に違反していると主張しています。この問題は、3月に40名のスタッフから出された苦情や、2025年の人員削減を巡る個別の申し立てを受けて深刻化しています。
英国独立労働者組合（IWGB）は4月21日、Build a Rocket Boy（BARB）の従業員がデータ保護法違反を巡る法的手続きを開始したと発表しました。組合によると、経営陣はTeramindをインストールしましたが、これは正当な監視の範囲を超え、従業員の同意なく自宅内での様子を記録するものであったといいます。IWGBは、団体交渉を通じた苦情を受けて会社側はソフトウェアを削除したものの、収集されたデータの内容や使用目的、インストール理由の詳細開示を求める要求には応じていないと指摘しています。
