Zuckerberg Kills Meta DEI, Nose Goes Farther Up Trump's Patootie
In case you need another reason to cancel your Threads, Instagram and/or Facebook accounts, here’s the latest from the Zuckerberg company that just got rid of its fact-checking in order to make Meta more of a cesspool like Twitter. Because why stand in the way of disinformation, Russian bots or white supremacy when it might cost Zuck a tax cut?
From Axios:
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is terminating major DEI programs, effective immediately — including for hiring, training and picking suppliers, according to a new employee memo obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: The move is a strong signal to Meta employees that the company's push to make inroads with the incoming Trump administration isn't just posturing, but an ethos shift that will impact its business practices.
