In a wide range of questions and answers with meta employees on Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg, the company's highest executive officer, defends recent changes to relax online speech and ending diver city initiative. Double the acceptance of new ones. management.
“I want to be clear. In recent years, we have the opportunity to have a productive partnership with the US government,” said Zuckerberg's record of the New York Times. Ta. “We intend to take it.”
40 -year -old Zuckerberg stated that it is “basic” for Meta, the world's largest social media company equipped with Facebook, Instagram, thread, and WhatsApp. 。
“The government actively opposes you, gets in the way to add a lot of friction, or to actively help you to break the barrier to help you. I can do it, “he said. “That's right.”
In an hourly meeting with more than 70,000 meta employees, Zuckerberg said in 2025 that focuses on the immersive world of artificial intelligence, data centers, and metaberas. He said it would be an important year for Initiative.
Zuckerberg's remarks re -marined the company during the Trump era and showed his tight grip on the meta in accordance with the surprise of some employees. This month, Zuckerberg announced a change in sweeping to reduce the restrictions on the meta speech, ended the fact confirmation program and killed diversity efforts in the workplace. He also appeared in the inauguration ceremony of President Trump and criticized the administration of former President Biden as anti -technology.
In Meta, Zuckerberg has concluded employees' opposition, including banning workplaces on social and political issues with specific controversy.
Some employees have changed their changes, such as removing tampons from men's toilets for transgenders and non -binary employees. Two people who saw this form say that some employees recently distributed a sign -up form for workers purchased hygienic products and protested to bring them to meta offices. I did it.
Meta's spokesman refused to comment. Business Insider earlier reported some of Zuckerberg's conversation.
During the meeting, Zuckerberg stated that some of the META changes (such as eliminating many DEI teams) are reflected in the times.
“We are in the right of the very rapidly changing policies and regulatory environments, and we see policies that consider people's groups to be illegal than other groups,” he said. “Therefore, it is necessary to adjust us and all other organizations there.”
Zuckerberg personally believes that meta has a “good achievement” for diversity, and believes that having a diverse labor is a strength.
At a meeting, Jannel Gale, the head of the meta, said at the meeting that there were other types of discrimination that was not widely recognized by the meta but still needed to deal with it. She said she had fired a woman for sexual harassment, and some were excluded for their political views.
Zuckerberg stated that Meta has regained unconscious biastration, not just focusing on “several different groups.”
Some employees were angry at the change in the format of the meeting. For many years, the employee has voted for any questions to ask Zuckerberg. Most of the votes were asked.
This time, it didn't happen. The side chat room where the employee had commented on the live presentation was also deleted, and the two who attended the phone said.
Zuckerberg said that changing meetings was intentional as the number of leaks in recent years has increased.
“I think there are many things worth destroying what I don't intend to speak,” he said. “Maybe it's the property of running this size, but it's a bit disappointing.”
After the meeting, the meta received a memo, who sent an internal message that the employee would be fired when he talked to the media.
During the phone call, Zuckerberg also paid attention to the uncertainty about Tiktok, a Chinese -owned video application banned in the United States under the federal law this month. President Trump has signed an administrative order to suspend the ban.
Tactoku is one of the Meta's “major competitors”, and Zuckerberg added that he was watching the development closely.
The employee is more meta to Zuckerberg, the appearance of DeepSeek, a Chinese emerging company that created an advanced AI model at one half of many other companies. I asked if I had raised questions about it.
Zuckerberg stated that DeepSeek will support AI's Meta open source strategy. This includes that other companies can freely share code so that they can build apps and improve technology. Some of Deepseek's technical progress has already helped to improve the AI model in the meta.
However, Zuckerberg states that spending on data centers, which provides computing power in AI advanced, is still a competitive advantage for meta.
“This year it feels like a sprint for me,” he said. “It will be a crazy year.”
