Thanks to people like Robby Starbuck, a lot of companies are rolling back their DEI policies or doing away with them entirely. On Friday, Starbuck announced that Amazon was eliminating some of its DEI policies.

On the same day, Starbuck announced that Meta was also doing away with some of its DEI policies. This is right after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook was dumping PolitiFact, which sent the media and the fact-checking industry into a tailspin.

Axios, which has been positively wetting itself over Facebook's decision to move to a Community Notes-style form of moderation, wrote about Meta's decision Friday.

Meta is apparently ridding itself of five major DEI programs. It is:
