The calls for a Meta boycott don't seem to be having much of an impact, data shows


Meta's recent policy changes, including cutting fact-checking and diversity programs, haven't decreased platform engagement.

New data from multiple analytics firms show a slight decline in engagement following the policy changes was reversed after news of a TikTok ban, which prompted users to return to Mark Zuckerberg's platforms. "The data — especially the number of daily active users (DAUs) — tells the story that usage started to fall after all the headlines came out about the changes Meta was making," Thomas Grant, vice president of research at market intelligence firm Apptopia, told Business Insider. Notably, a CivicScience survey of 1,346 Americans found that 36% of participants support Meta's move to kill fact-checking in favor of Community Notes, compared to 32% who oppose it (the remaining 32% were neutral).
