Mark Zuckerberg & Meta End DEI Programs Effective Immediately

Mark Zuckerberg‘s Meta is ending key diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, including hiring and supplier initiatives, per an internal memo obtained by Axios.

The decision signals a strategic shift amid changing U.S. legal and policy landscapes, according to HR VP Janelle Gale. The move aligns with Meta’s efforts to engage the incoming Trump administration and follows recent cuts to content moderation efforts on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

The abrupt changes highlight Meta’s evolving business practices and approach to DEI.
