Meta lays off 20 as employees have trouble adjusting to new Trump-friendly Facebook era

Meta, the parent company of the social media platform, Facebook, has fired 20 employees. It's another sign that Donald Trump is changing the status quo around social media and news reporting.

No more fake news, liberal bias, or untrustworthy people will be allowed in such an important space. Many Americans get the bulk of the information from social media, so it is important to have ethical people in control of it.

The 20 employees who were fired from Meta were reported to have leaked confidential information to outside sources.

At this time, the type of leaked information has not been identified by Meta or released to the public.

However, according to various reports, many employees at Meta are part of the radical left that has become increasingly unhappy with the changes being made at the company.

That demographic has had a rough time adjusting to the new Donald Trump-era adjustments made by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Reports have said that morale at Meta is at an all-time low since Zuckerberg announced his decision to change the company’s extremely biased content moderation policies that had been in place for years.

He also did away with diversity and inclusion programs as well as warned his company that while layoffs were coming, they would only target “low-performers.”

Could the leak have something to do with the angry left working at Meta?

According to the Verge, a spokesperson from Meta revealed that the company launched an investigation and discovered the employees who had leaked the information.

“We recently conducted an investigation that resulted in roughly 20 employees being terminated for sharing confidential information outside the company, and we expect there will be more,” said the spokesperson, Dave Arnold.

The names of those employees were not released to the public.

Arnold went on to discuss how seriously they take matters like this and that they plan to do the same to anyone else they discover leaking information.

“We tell employees when they join the company, and we offer periodic reminders, that it is against our policies to leak internal information, no matter the intent,” said Arnold.

CTO of Meta, Andrew Bosworth, also was reported to have said that they had been “making progress on catching people” leaking information.

“There’s a funny thing that’s happening with these leaks. When things leak, I think a lot of times people think, ‘Ah, okay, this is leaked, therefore it’ll put pressure on us to change things.’ The opposite is more likely,” said Bosworth in another instance.
