The metamorphosis of Mark Zuckerberg and Meta continues on the eve of the inauguration of the new US president, Donald Trump.

A rapid transformation in just six weeks, which has surprised even the company's employees, reports the New York Times.

Following the elimination of fact-checking in the United States alone, an action with great political and symbolic weight, as well as the change in content moderation policies on Facebook and Instagram – which will be implemented globally in the coming weeks – Meta has notified employees of the immediate discontinuation of key diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programs.

This means that there will no longer be a team dedicated to protecting minorities in the recruitment, training and supplier selection processes.

Maxine Williams, the current head of diversity, will take on a new role focused on access.

Meanwhile, Roy Austin, the vice president for Civil Rights, has resigned, citing "the complexities and challenges of our work," while 13 members of his team will be transferred to other roles.

In a statement from Meta, vice president of human resources, Janelle Gale, argues that, "the legal and policy landscape related to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the U.S. is changing."

She adds that the U.S. Supreme Court has recently made decisions that suggest a change in how courts will treat DEI programs.

"The meaning of the term DEI has changed, as some interpret it as preferential treatment of some groups over others. The aim is now to implement fair and consistent practices that reduce prejudice for everyone, regardless of background."

The company claims that there will be no preferential treatment to "better support underrepresented people in our workforce and through our products," unlike what was written in the last diversity report by Maxine Williams in 2022.

This report showed that, despite efforts, only 37.1% of the workforce were women, 4.9% were African-American, and 6.7% were Hispanic.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg seems unstoppable and enthusiastic, openly expressing his opinions.

In an interview with Joe Rogan, the most popular podcaster in America, with whom Trump had spoken for three hours during the election campaign, Zuckerberg said that "now I have a lot more control over what I think politics should be, and I believe that will be the case in the future."

He also attacked the administration of current President Joe Biden, claiming it was forced to "censor" some content.

According to him, White House officials had "yelled" and "cursed" at Meta employees during discussions on moderating COVID content during the pandemic.

At that time, on the eve of the first vaccination campaign in 2020, Meta had decided to delete false information about vaccines, while previously he had only tried to reduce the visibility of anti-vaccine pages and groups and reject false advertising on the subject.

President Biden called Meta's decision to remove fact-checking "shameful." He said, "the truth matters."

There was also nervousness within Meta.

One LGBT employee wrote on the internal Workplace platform: "I'm LGBT and I have mental health issues. I'm going to take some time for myself."

While some comments now allowed under the new moderation rules include phrases such as: "A transgender woman is not a woman, she is a miserable, confused man" or "God created two genders, transgender people are not real."

Another employee expressed concern over the elimination of DEI programs.

"If the election result had been different, none of this would have happened? Does that mean we did things we didn't believe in? Will we have such big changes every time the government changes?"

According to New York Times sources, the change of Zuckerberg and Meta has a dual purpose: to position himself on the eve of January 20, when Trump takes office, and to openly display his personal opinions, which he no longer wants to hide.

"And that's how it will be in the future," he said.
