Description

Meta's recent policy changes and Mark Zuckerberg's alignment with President-elect Donald Trump have sparked backlash. Some users have abandoned Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The changes include ending third-party fact-checking in the U.S., easing moderation of political discourse, and allowing dehumanizing language against LGBTQ individuals. Meta also disbanded its diversity, equity, and inclusion team, further fueling discontent. Meta retains a massive user base, with nearly two-thirds of Americans on Facebook and millions more on Instagram and WhatsApp.
