Meta, fresh off announcement to end factchecking, follows McDonald’s and Walmart in rolling back diversity initiatives

Summary

Meta announced the termination of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, including hiring practices and supplier diversity initiatives.

Internal DEI teams and equity training programs will be disbanded, despite Meta’s earlier achievements in boosting representation.

The move follows Meta’s recent alignment with Donald Trump, including a $1M donation to his inauguration.

Critics link this decision to growing right-wing backlash against DEI efforts. Similar rollbacks have occurred at companies like Walmart and Ford.
