Meta Shifts Direction: Zuckerberg Eases DEI Initiatives and Deletes LGBTQ+ Themes Following Trump Meeting

Credited from: SALON

  • Meta is discontinuing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including the elimination of LGBTQ+ themed user options.
  • The changes come after a meeting between CEO Mark Zuckerberg and President-elect Donald Trump, alongside the appointment of Trump ally Joel Kaplan to key policy positions.
  • Meta cites a shifting “legal and policy landscape” as the reason for these decisions, leading to the removal of its dedicated DEI team and the easing of hiring practices.
  • Other companies, like McDonald’s and Ford, are also scaling back their DEI efforts amid political pressures.
  • The company has amended its moderation policies to allow previously restricted speech, raising concerns about the impact on marginalized communities.
