Meta to fire 10,000 people in second round of lay off

The cuts follow a cull of 11,000 jobs announced by the company in November.

Facebook owner Meta announced a wave of job cuts on Tuesday, part of what CEO Mark Zuckerberg called the company's "year of efficiency" as the US tech sector continues to downsize.
In an email to employees, Zuckerberg said Meta would shed 10,000 jobs over the next few months, targeting middle management, and that 5,000 other roles would remain unfilled. The cuts follow a cull of 11,000 jobs announced by the company in November.

Report: Meta has been asking directors and vice presidents to make lists of employees that can be let go

Three months after laying off 11,000 workers in what was its first-ever major layoff, Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, is planning a fresh round of layoffs this week.&nbsp;
According to a report by Bloomberg, the imminent round of cuts is being driven by financial targets and is separate from the &ldquo;flattening,&rdquo;.&nbsp; Report further added that Meta has also asked directors and vice presidents to list the names of the employees that can be let go in this latest round of layoffs.
In its earlier round of cuts, Meta slashed 11,000 workers in what was its first-ever major layoff in November last year.&nbsp;

Meta is testing a new subscription service that would let Facebook and Instagram users pay for a verified account 

Facebook and Instagram launch paid subscription for a verified account

Meta is testing a new subscription service that would let Facebook and Instagram users pay for a verified account&nbsp;

After Twitter, now Meta is testing a new subscription service that would let Facebook and Instagram users pay for a verified account.
Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg announced the subscription service for platforms Facebook and Instagram on Sunday, after almost 20 years of defending an economic model based on free services and advertising.&nbsp;
<h3>Facebook &amp; Instagram paid subscription&nbsp;</h3>
For USD 11.99 per month on the web or USD 14.99 per month on Apple and Android operating systems, Meta will use a government identification to verify a user's account and give the account a blue badge. Previously, Meta's blue badges were free and reserved for notable public figures or businesses.
Subscribers will also get extra protection against account impersonation and direct access to customer support, Meta said.
&ldquo;This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services," Zuckerberg said in his message.
Meta said public figures and others who were previously verified won't be affected by the change. Meta Verified is aimed at influencers and others who use social media for their business but aren't notable public figures.

"FACEBOOK, which has lost Billions of Dollars in value since 'deplatforming' your favorite President, me, has just announced that they are reinstating my account," he posted on his Truth Social website.

Facebook ban 'should never again happen' to a US president: Trump

The company said in a blog post Wednesday it is adding &ldquo;new guardrails&rdquo; to ensure there are no &ldquo;repeat offenders&rdquo; who violate its rules.
&ldquo;In the event that Mr. Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation,&rdquo; Meta, which is based in Menlo Park, California, said.
Trump's spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision.

Ban on Free Nipple campaign lifted, Facebook will allow some people to post nude selfies

After ten years, Facebook and Instagram are lifting ban on bare breasts, but only for some users: Reports

Meta's independent oversight board has recommended lifting the ban on bare-chested images of 'some users', as the 'ban is not inclusive': Reports
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Meta that owns Facebook and Instagram will soon allow some users to post bare-chested pictures on the social media platforms.
According to media reports, Facebook and Instagram will soon allow transgender and non-binary users to post their bare-chested pictures on the social media platforms.
The ban however, would continue to prohibit women from posting their bare breasts images.
The decision was taken after Meta's independent Oversight Board on 17 January called the ban discriminatory and recommended a review on the ban.
The announcement has come 10 years after the ban was imposed on Facebook, which has primarily prohibited women from posting their bare breasts images.
Meta now has 60 days to review the board's recommendations.

Meta Platforms-the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp has announced  that it is firing 11,000 employees as part of cost-cutting strategy

In one of biggest layoffs this year, Meta fires 11,000 employees 

Meta Platforms-the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp has announced &nbsp;that it is firing 11,000 employees as part of cost-cutting strategy

In one of the biggest tech layoffs in the United States this year Meta Platforms will let go of 13% or more than 11,000 employees.
Meta has also extended its hiring freeze through the first quarter.
In a message to its employees, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is taking steps towards cutting costs after recording a rise in overall costs of the company by a fifth in the past quarter.
Meta would pay 16 weeks of base pay plus two additional weeks for every year of service as a part of the severance package. Employees will get healthcare benefits for six months&nbsp;
The pandemic boom that boosted tech companies and their valuations has turned into a bust this year in the face of decades-high inflation and rapidly rising interest rates.

The broad job cuts, the first in Meta&rsquo;s 18-year history, follow thousands of layoffs at other major tech companies including Elon Musk-owned Twitter and Microsoft Corp.

While many Twitter employees, former and continuing, must be thinking about the 'good old days' because of the chaos unleashed by new boss Elon Musk, nostalgia has also hit the users of the platform. 

Orkut is trending amid Twitter chaos

This 'dead' social media platform is trending amid Twitter chaos

While many Twitter employees, former and continuing, must be thinking about the 'good old days' because of the chaos unleashed by new boss Elon Musk, nostalgia has also hit the users of the platform.&nbsp;

While many Twitter employees, former and continuing, must be thinking about the 'good old days' because of the chaos unleashed by new boss Elon Musk, nostalgia has also hit the users of the platform.&nbsp;
They are thinking about the time when Twitter wasn't the 'in thing' and Facebook wasn't all that popular. The time when people weren't tweeting or posting on walls but leaving scraps.
Yes, you have guessed it right. People are missing Orkut. For the uninitated, Orkut was a social media platform started by Google in 2004. Named after its developer Orkut B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten, the social media platform was the first one the scene.&nbsp;
You could connect with friends, write testimonials for them, upload pictures and more.&nbsp;
Tweeple are now missing the simplicity of Orkut days and have started sharing memes leading to the now defunct platform trending on Twitter.&nbsp;
Some people have also called for the resurrection of Orkut.&nbsp;
The site was shut down in 2014 after its users dropped due to arrival of new platforms.&nbsp;

Trump was suspended from Facebook following the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Trump may be running for president but he still can't use Facebook

Facebook has no plans to reinstate Trump's account following the former president's announcement that he will seek a second term in the White House

Trump was suspended from Facebook following the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Donald Trump may be running for president, but he still can't use Facebook.
The social media platform has no plans to reinstate Trump's account following the former president's announcement that he will seek a second term in the White House, the company confirmed on Wednesday.
Trump was kicked off Facebook following the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Trump may not have to wait long to get back on the site, however. His suspension from Facebook is set to be reconsidered in January, two years after it was first imposed.
One change will be immediate: As a candidate, Trump will no longer be subject to Facebook fact checks.
That's because under Facebook rules, comments by elected officials and candidates for office aren't subject to fact checks on its site. The Associated Press participates in Facebook's independent fact-checking program.
Throughout his tenure as president, Trump's use of social media posed a significant challenge to major social media platforms trying to balance the public's need to hear from their elected leaders with worries about misinformation, harassment and incitement of violence.
Following the January 6 riot, Trump was also kicked off Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook parent company Meta.
Trump's ability to post videos to his YouTube channel was suspended.
YouTube spokeswoman Ivy Choi said on Wednesday the company had no plans to lift the suspension.
Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, has said he disagreed with the platform's decision to bar Trump following the January 6 attack.
Musk said no announcement about reinstating banned users will be made until a content moderation council has reviewed the issue.
Twitter did not respond to questions about whether Trump's candidacy will impact the decision. Since his suspension, Trump has started his own social media platform, TruthSocial, and said he has no plans to rejoin Twitter if allowed.
The platforms would be justified if they extend their restrictions on Trump or make them permanent, said Heidi Beirich, founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism and a member of the Real Facebook Oversight Board, a group that has criticized Meta's response to extremist content and misinformation.
&ldquo;The big problem is treating candidates as if they're in a special category and deserve special treatment,&rdquo; Beirich said.
&ldquo;If you have a set of rules, it should apply to everyone. The decision shouldn't be a struggle." Facebook initially placed a 24-hour suspension on Trump's account on Jan. 6 after he praised the rioters who stormed the Capitol.
Facebook creator and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced an indefinite suspension on January 7, adding that &ldquo;the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.&rdquo; The company's quasi-independent oversight board upheld the ban but directed Facebook to set a time limit. The ban is now set to expire January 7, 2023.&nbsp;

A leaked video of Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg is surfacing on socail media, where he said "the most difficult changes we've made in Meta's history".&nbsp;
He further said the cuts represented 13 percent of the social media titan's workforce and would affect its research lab focusing on the metaverse as well as its apps, which include Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
"I want to take accountability for these decisions and for how we got here," Zuckerberg said in a note to staff.
"I know this is tough for everyone, and I'm especially sorry to those impacted."
Ad-supported platforms such as Facebook and Google are suffering with advertisers looking to cut costs as they struggle with inflation and rising interest rates.
Zuckerberg told his 87,000-strong staff he had expected the boost in e-commerce and online activity during the Covid pandemic to continue, but added: "I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that."

Zuckerberg cited investments in e-commerce as one of the major factors for company's downsized growth.

Announcing lay off of about 13% workforce, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the move has been taken to become a leaner and more efficient company.
In a blogpost on <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2022/11/mark-zuckerberg-layoff-message-to-employees/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">company's website, </a>Zuckerberg held himself accountable for the decision giving a step-by-step break up of what lies ahead.
Zuckerberg cited investments in e-commerce as one of the major factors for company's downsized growth.
He said over 11,000 affected employees of the company will be given the maximum possible support including cost of health insurance, 16 weeks of base pay to make the process feasible for them.
Among the other cost-cutting measures, the company will be transitioning to desk sharing for people to bring in a meaningful cultural shift in the way Facebook operates.
All the changes, in Zuckberge's words, have been made to accelerate revenue which was lower than expected at the beginning of this year.
Zuckerberg said he wants to ensure that the company operates efficiently across Family of Apps and Reality Labs.
Calling it a sad moment, Zuckerberg said Meta is being deeply underestimated but that he is confident that it will work more efficiently.&nbsp;

The stock decline knocked Zuckerberg down from the 25th richest person in the world to the 29th richest

Seems like nobody&rsquo;s had the roughest one year than Mark Zuckerberg as the Facebook founder, who now runs the rebranded platform called Meta, has lost the most amount of money than anyone else in the world in that period of time. Mark Zuckerberg&rsquo;s net worth fell $11 billion to $36 billion as the company&rsquo;s shares plummeted a day after it reported dismal quarterly earnings. Not only this, Meta shares fell 25% to $97.94, pushing the stock to its lowest point since December 2016. In its third quarter earnings released, the social media giant reported a 50% decline in profits and revenue sliding by 4%, far below analyst expectations. Zuckerberg holds more than 350 million shares in Meta, according to the company&rsquo;s latest proxy statement. At one point, he was third on the Bloomberg wealth index, trailing only Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. And today, he ranks at 23rd.

Facebook-parent Meta will become the latest tech firm to scale back its workforce, with plans to layoff thousands of employees this week.
According to reports, the layoffs could impact "many thousands" of Meta employees and that an announcement was expected as soon as Wednesday.
As of September 30, Meta had about 87,000 employees worldwide across its different platforms, which include social media sites Facebook and Instagram as well as messaging platform Whatsapp.
In his announcement of Meta's disappointing third quarter results, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the firm's staff would not increase by the end of 2023, and might decrease slightly.
The latest plans from Meta follow recent announcements by other tech firms to freeze hiring or cut their workforce as the industry fights &nbsp;economic headwinds.

Russia adds Meta to 'terrorist and extremist' groups list

Russia on Tuesday added US tech giant Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, to a list of "terrorist and extremist" organisations, according to a database of the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring

Russia in late March banned Facebook and Instagram for "carrying out extremist activities" after authorities accused Meta of tolerating "Russophobia" during Russia's military campaign in Ukraine.

Russia on Tuesday added US tech giant Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, to a list of "terrorist and extremist" organisations, according to a database of the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring (Rosfinmonitoring).
Russia in late March banned Facebook and Instagram for "carrying out extremist activities" after authorities accused Meta of tolerating "Russophobia" during Russia's military campaign in Ukraine.
Meta had announced on March 10 that the platforms would allow statements like "death to Russian invaders" but not credible threats against civilians, before saying the change only applied to users posting from inside Ukraine.
Facebook and Instagram have been inaccessible in Russia since March, but many Russians resorted to VPN to keep using the social media network.
Instagram is particularly popular in Russia, and used to be a key platform for advertisement and sales.

Facebook and Instagram have begun promptly removing posts that offer abortion pills to women who may not be able to access them following a Supreme Court decision that stripped away constitutional protections for the procedure.
Such social media posts ostensibly aimed to help women living in states where preexisting laws banning abortion suddenly snapped into effect on Friday. That's when the high court overruled Roe v. Wade, its 1973 decision that declared access to abortion a constitutional right.
Memes and status updates explaining how women could legally obtain abortion pills in the mail exploded across social platforms. Some even offered to mail the prescriptions to women living in states that now ban the procedure.
Almost immediately, Facebook and Instagram began removing some of these posts, just as millions across the US were searching for clarity around abortion access. General mentions of abortion pills, as well as posts mentioning specific versions such as mifepristone and misoprostol, suddenly spiked Friday morning across Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and TV broadcasts, according to an analysis by the media intelligence firm Zignal Labs.
By Sunday, Zignal had counted more than 250,000 such mentions.
The AP obtained a screenshot on Friday of one Instagram post from a woman who offered to purchase or forward abortion pills through the mail, minutes after the court ruled to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion.
"DM me if you want to order abortion pills, but want them sent to my address instead of yours," the post on Instagram read.
Instagram took it down within moments. Vice Media first reported on Monday that Meta, the parent of both Facebook and Instagram, was taking down posts about abortion pills.
On Monday, an AP reporter tested how the company would respond to a similar post on Facebook, writing: "If you send me your address, I will mail you abortion pills." The post was removed within one minute.
The Facebook account was immediately put on a "warning" status for the post, which Facebook said violated its standards on "guns, animals and other regulated goods." Yet, when the AP reporter made the same exact post but swapped out the words "abortion pills" for "a gun," the post remained untouched. A post with the same exact offer to mail “weed” was also left up and not considered a violation.
Marijuana is illegal under federal law and it is illegal to send it through the mail.
Abortion pills, however, can legally be obtained through the mail after an online consultation from prescribers who have undergone certification and training.
In an email, a Meta spokesperson pointed to company policies that prohibit the sale of certain items, including guns, alcohol, drugs and pharmaceuticals. The company did not explain the apparent discrepancies in its enforcement of that policy.
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone confirmed in a tweet Monday that the company will not allow individuals to gift or sell pharmaceuticals on its platform, but will allow content that shares information on how to access pills. Stone acknowledged some problems with enforcing that policy across its platforms, which include Facebook and Instagram.
"We've discovered some instances of incorrect enforcement and are correcting these," Stone said in the tweet.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Friday that states should not ban mifepristone, the medication used to induce an abortion.
"States may not ban mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA's expert judgment about its safety and efficacy," Garland said in a Friday statement.
But some Republicans have already tried to stop their residents from obtaining abortion pills through the mail, with some states like West Virginia and Tennessee prohibiting providers from prescribing the medication through telemedicine consultation.

Instagram and Facebook remove posts offering abortion pills

General mentions of abortion pills, as well as posts mentioning specific versions such as mifepristone and misoprostol, suddenly spiked Friday morning.

Facebook and Instagram have begun promptly removing posts that offer abortion pills to women who may not be able to access them following a Supreme Court decision that stripped away constitutional protections for the procedure.
Such social media posts ostensibly aimed to help women living in states where preexisting laws banning abortion suddenly snapped into effect on Friday. That's when the high court overruled Roe v. Wade, its 1973 decision that declared access to abortion a constitutional right.
Memes and status updates explaining how women could legally obtain abortion pills in the mail exploded across social platforms. Some even offered to mail the prescriptions to women living in states that now ban the procedure.
Almost immediately, Facebook and Instagram began removing some of these posts, just as millions across the US were searching for clarity around abortion access. General mentions of abortion pills, as well as posts mentioning specific versions such as mifepristone and misoprostol, suddenly spiked Friday morning across Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and TV broadcasts, according to an analysis by the media intelligence firm Zignal Labs.
By Sunday, Zignal had counted more than 250,000 such mentions.
The AP obtained a screenshot on Friday of one Instagram post from a woman who offered to purchase or forward abortion pills through the mail, minutes after the court ruled to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion.
"DM me if you want to order abortion pills, but want them sent to my address instead of yours," the post on Instagram read.
Instagram took it down within moments. Vice Media first reported on Monday that Meta, the parent of both Facebook and Instagram, was taking down posts about abortion pills.
On Monday, an AP reporter tested how the company would respond to a similar post on Facebook, writing: "If you send me your address, I will mail you abortion pills." The post was removed within one minute.
The Facebook account was immediately put on a "warning" status for the post, which Facebook said violated its standards on "guns, animals and other regulated goods." Yet, when the AP reporter made the same exact post but swapped out the words "abortion pills" for "a gun," the post remained untouched. A post with the same exact offer to mail &ldquo;weed&rdquo; was also left up and not considered a violation.

Marijuana is illegal under federal law and it is illegal to send it through the mail.
Abortion pills, however, can legally be obtained through the mail after an online consultation from prescribers who have undergone certification and training.
In an email, a Meta spokesperson pointed to company policies that prohibit the sale of certain items, including guns, alcohol, drugs and pharmaceuticals. The company did not explain the apparent discrepancies in its enforcement of that policy.
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone confirmed in a tweet Monday that the company will not allow individuals to gift or sell pharmaceuticals on its platform, but will allow content that shares information on how to access pills. Stone acknowledged some problems with enforcing that policy across its platforms, which include Facebook and Instagram.
"We've discovered some instances of incorrect enforcement and are correcting these," Stone said in the tweet.
