Headline: “Company memo reveals social media giant Meta rolling back DEI program”
“Jan. 10 (UPI) — Citing a changing “legal and policy landscape,” social media giant Meta is ending its corporate diversity, equity and inclusion program, according to a leaked internal company memo published on Friday.
“In the memo, first obtained by Axios, Meta vice president of human resources Janelle Gale tells employees the platform is ending its DEI program in the face of shifting political realities.
“The legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing,” Gale writes. “The Supreme Court of the United States has recently made decisions signaling a shift in how courts will approach DEI. It reaffirms longstanding principles that discrimination should not be tolerated or promoted on the basis of inherent characteristics.”
