Meta is ending its diversity, equity and inclusion programs, known as DEI, the company said Friday, becoming the latest company to pull back from such practices in the wake of pressure from conservative critics and customers.

Meta on Friday said it would be ending its DEI programs to focus on building programs that "mitigate bias for all."

Meta’s vice president of human resources announced the company would cut its DEI team and end its goal of choosing business suppliers from “diverse-owned” businesses “effective immediately.”
