According to information from New York TimesFacebook’s parent company has asked its teams not to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision on internal public communication channels.
A “dystopian” decision
This request would have been made through a memo released on May 12, in which management explained that fueling this debate “could create a hostile work environment”. According The Vergethis document is based on the internal rules of the company to prohibit employees “from discussing or debating whether abortion is acceptable or not, or on political, religious or humanitarian points of view on the subject”.
When it was released in May, this decision shocked some Meta employees. They then denounced a “dystopian” choice. On Friday, many of them openly opposed the Supreme Court’s order in the company’s internal chat channel. But the messages present in the internal chat would have been quickly deleted. Only discussions addressing the subject privately in “groups of no more than 20 people” would still be allowed.
