Many of the engineers received amounts of roughly $80,000, $100,000 or $120,000 in shares, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the program isn\u2019t public. The perk was presented by managers as a reward for high performers\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The payouts aren\u2019t part of normal Apple compensation packages, which include a base salary, stock units and a cash bonus. Apple sometimes awards additional cash bonuses to employees, but the size of the latest stock grants were atypical and surprisingly timed, the people said. They were given to about 10% to 20% of engineers in applicable divisions.<\/p>\n<p>In October, Mark Zuckerberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/facebook-changes-company-name-to-meta-will-focus-on-bringing-the-metaverse-to-life\">announced<\/a> that Facebook would change its name to Meta \u2014 reflecting its new emphasis on \u201cmetaverse\u201d initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been thinking a lot about our identity as we begin this next chapter. Facebook is one of the most used products in the history of the world,\u201d Zuckerberg said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/10\/28\/tech\/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-keynote-announcements\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>. \u201cIt is an iconic social media brand, but increasingly it just doesn\u2019t encompass everything that we do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we\u2019re seen as a social media company,\u201d he added, \u201cbut in our DNA, we are a company that builds technology to connect people. And the metaverse is the next frontier just like social networking was when we got started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that some people will say that this isn\u2019t a time to focus on the future, and I want to acknowledge that there are important issues to work on in the present. There always will be,\u201d Zuckerberg said. \u201cSo for many people, I\u2019m just not sure there ever will be a good time to focus on the future. But I also know that there are a lot of you who feel the same way that I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Apple is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/apple-working-to-create-features-to-detect-depression-cognitive-impairment\">developing<\/a> technology to assist in perceiving cognitive decline and depression \u2014 a move that raises concerns about data privacy. Through sensor data that includes mobility, physical activity, sleep patterns, typing behavior, and more, researchers hope to create signals associated with target conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Apple promised that its new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/apple-promises-to-refuse-any-governments-demands-to-surveille-users-phones\">system<\/a> to scan iCloud photo rolls for child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) would never be used for political purposes. The company sought to dismiss worries that governments could add non-CSAM images to its hash list.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how well-intentioned, Apple is rolling out mass surveillance to the entire world with this,\u201d National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden said in response. \u201cMake no mistake: if they can scan for kiddie porn today, they can scan for anything tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
