Mark Zuckerberg announced on Friday that his Meta company, which operates Facebook and Instagram, had abandoned its DEI practices. As part of that move, the company told facilities managers to remove the tampons from the men’s bathrooms.
“That same day at Meta’s offices in Silicon Valley,” The New York Times reported, “Texas and New York, facilities managers were instructed to remove tampons from men’s bathrooms, which the company had provided for nonbinary and transgender employees who use the men’s room and who may have required sanitary pads, two employees said.”
Some people could hardly beleive that this had been the state of things at the social media giant.
The move comes as Zuckerberg has made a sharp, right political pivot in recent months. He had a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home after which he announced a change to the fact-checking policies at Meta, announced that the content moderation team would be moving to Texas, and said that the era of censorship on both Instagram and Facebook was over.
