Mark Zuckerberg is finally ready to be his true self. Surprise: he missed.

A new one report from the New York Times details how Zuck tapped a small team of executives to help him transform Meta’s Facebook, Instagram, and Threads platforms as he sees fit. So far, it has been included end of fact checking, rolling back moderation rules which protects marginalized people, and ramping the algorithm of promote more political content. Now, per memo to employees obtained by Axiosyou can add diversity, equity and inclusion to the list of principles Zuckerberg’s businesses are built on.

The company announced it would lay off its DEI team, stop efforts to work with minority-owned supplier businesses, and end representation goals, among other policy changes. Changes will be implemented immediately.

This shift to the right follows Zuckerberg’s trip to Mar-a-Lago over Thanksgiving, where he spent time with President-elect Donald Trump. However, according to the Times, it has been bubbling within Meta’s CEO for some time. He reportedly felt compelled to take up “progressive” causes — you know, those radical nonconformist beliefs like “equal opportunity is good” and “you shouldn’t lie about things “—by his employees and outside forces. Behind the scenes, the Times says he talked unhinged loon Marc Andreessen and more about how he wants to take a “free speech” approach to running his companies.

Interestingly, Zuckerberg’s techno-libertarian version of “free speech” sounds like “stifling marginalized people” in practice. Zuck, with his little circle of like-minded ghouls, rewrote the company’s content moderation policies in a way that would prohibit saying “white people have mental illness” but allow saying “gay people have mental illness,” for example. The company too pulled transgender and nonbinary theme options from its Messenger chat app.

And then there was the decision to end the DEI programs. Meta claims the reason it made the call is because “the legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing.” In a memo obtained by Axios, Janelle Gale, Meta’s vice president of human resources, cited recent Supreme Court decisions that “signal a change in how courts approach DEI” — a an apparent reference to the SCOTUS decision in dismantle affirmative action programs in college admissions offices, as well as in the future “Repeated discrimination” case the court will hear that will be a precedent to attack the initiatives of the DEI.

But more than that, it appears that the decision is an extension of Zuckerberg’s worldview. His friends in Silicon Valley’s venture capital world have spent years harping on DEI programsfancied themselves kings of meritocracy and pretended that a person from a less privileged background would face any discrimination if they Granted as capable of their counterparts. Of course, the truth is that Meritocracy is a myth. Indeed, studies found that the belief that achievements are the result of merit results in less empathic and more prejudiced behavior.

It’s a decided departure from how the company has presented itself over the past few years. After all, it’s just the company successfully defended one of its DEI efforts in court this past summer. In 2023, Meta will be public DECLARED“Our commitment to DEI remains central to who we are as a company.” And just two years ago, Meta published a diversity report highlighting how it was able to attract more talent from marginalized communities by hiring more remote workers. (The company has since issued a return to office order that those same workers are disproportionately affected.)

From all the decisions that Zuckerberg has released in his company in the last few weeks, it is clear that there is one kind of diversity that he really does: Diversity of thinking that does not agree with him.
