Mark Zuckerberg Goes Mask-Off and Ditches Diversity

Mark Zuckerberg is finally ready to be his real owner. Amazing: they suck.

New The New York Times reports details how Zuck recruited a small team of managers to help him reshape the Meta Facebook, Instagram, and Threads platforms from his perspective. So far, this includes to complete the fact-finding, reverse the rule of law which protects the oppressed, adding algorithms that to encourage more politics. Now, on to the memo to employees by Axiosyou can add diversity, equality and inclusion to the list of principles that Zuckerberg’s marketing practices.

The company has announced that it will break up its DEI group, stop trying to work with minority-owned businesses, and end representation plans, among other changes. These changes will take effect immediately.

The shift to the right follows Zuckerberg’s trip to Mar-a-Lago over Thanksgiving, where he spent time with President-elect Donald Trump. But, according to the Times, this has been going on within Meta’s CEO for some time. He says he’s forced to do “progressive” things—you know, left-leaning beliefs like “equal opportunity is good” and “you shouldn’t just lie about things”—by his staff and outsiders. In the past, the Times says he has been talking to him The legendary Marc Andreessen and others about how he wants to take a “free speech” approach to running his company.

Interestingly, Zuckerberg’s techno-libertarian version of “free speech” appears to be “oppressing the oppressed” in practice. Zuck, along with his small group of like-minded people, rewrite the company’s policies in a way that would prohibit saying “white people are mentally ill” but would allow saying “homosexuals are mentally ill,” for example. So does the company drew transgender and nonbinary topics from its Messenger chat app.

And then there is the decision to end DEI programs. Meta said the reason it made the call was because “the legal and policy environment surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in the United States is changing.” In a letter obtained by Axios, Janelle Gale, Meta’s vice president of Human Resources, cited recent Supreme Court decisions “signaling a shift in the way courts will approach DEI” — which appears to be in line with the SCOTUS decision. download the official app in college admissions offices, and upcoming events “Reverse discrimination” case the court will hear what could be a precedent for attacking the DEI’s efforts.

But more than that, it seems that the decision is an extension of Zuckerberg’s world. His friends in the capital of Silicon Valley have been for many years depending on the DEI programthey are pretending to be noble kings and pooh-pooh to think that a person from a poor family can be released anywhere if they do that. honestly as capable as their peers. Yes, the truth is meritocracy is a myth. Then, education has gained that believing that success was the result of merit leads to less empathy and prejudiced behavior.

This is a departure from what the company has shown itself in the past few years. In fact, just a company successfully defended one of his DEI attempts in court this past summer. In 2023, Meta publicly he said“Our commitment to DEI remains at the core of who we are as a company.” And two years ago, Meta published a diversity report that showed how it helped attract more talent from marginalized communities by hiring remote workers. (The company has released a go back to the office that it disproportionately affected the workers themselves.)

From all the decisions Zuckerberg has made about his company over the past few weeks, it’s clear that there’s one type of diversity he’s dealing with: Diversity of opinion.
