In an apparent effort by the company to gain favor with President Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg ordered tampons to be removed from Meta’s men’s bathrooms.
According to experts, the decision had nothing to do with cost-cutting or improving efficiency, serving only as a way to send a clear message about the company’s shift in priorities after Donald Trump’s election.
Since then, Zuckerberg has been behind a series of policy changes at Meta that critics warn could fuel hate speech, misinformation, and harassment on its platforms.
The CEO of the company announced the end of fact-checking, lifted bans on certain forms of hate speech, and removed trans-inclusive features from its apps, all while reinstating political content recommendations that could amplify extremist views.
Among the changes, Zuckerberg ordered earlier this month that tampons be removed from Meta’s men’s bathrooms. However, in an act of protest, employees purchased their own supplies to put back in the bathrooms.
According to five anonymous sources cited by The New York Times, employees also circulated a petition asking Meta to reinstate the amenities. However, Meta stood firm on its decision.
