Zuckerberg’s Meta Faces Internal Uproar Over New Anti-LGBTQ Policies


Meta, the tech giant is facing backlash from its own employees over recent policy updates announced by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

These changes involve a significant reduction in content moderation across platforms like Facebook and Instagram, specifically around topics that have long been considered sensitive, such as gender identity and immigration. This decision comes shortly after Zuckerberg’s meeting with President-Elect Donal Trump at the Mar-a-Lago resort, fueling suspicions among staff and observers alike that the move might have political underpinnings aimed at appeasing a more conservative audience. Critics and employees alike are worried that these changes could lead to increased harassment and misinformation on Meta’s platforms, marking another chapter in the company’s troubled history with content moderation.
