Meta has announced the immediate termination of its primary diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, including initiatives focused on diverse hiring and supplier sourcing. This decision is attributed to evolving legal and policy conditions regarding DEI efforts in the U.S. Other tech giants like Microsoft and Zoom have similarly scaled back their DEI initiatives due to legal challenges. Additionally, Meta plans to reduce fact-checking measures on its platforms, prompting a spike in user searches about deleting Meta accounts following Mark Zuckerberg's announcement.
