Not Many Meta Employees Will Have to Move to Texas After All
Mark Zuckerberg said content moderation teams in California will relocate to Texas to help reduce bias. In practice, employees aren't expecting many forced relocations.
Teams that write and enforce rules for what can be posted on Instagram and Meta’s other services will be moved from California to Texas and other parts of the US to “help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, without elaborating. The changes also do not affect a portion of Meta’s US-based content policy team, which works under chief global affairs officer Joel Kaplan, because many members are already located outside of California, including in Washington, DC, New York City, and Austin, Texas, the employees say. At times, blame for the alleged bias has been put on the notion that Meta’s decisionmakers are based in the San Francisco Bay Area, a liberal-leaning region where Donald Trump lost the vote in the past two presidential elections.
