The US technology giant said on Friday that it will end its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes, including recruitment, training and supplier selection programmes, in a memo to its employees.

The social media company also earlier this week scrapped its fact-checking program in the US and reduced restrictions on discussions on controversial topics such as immigration and gender identity, bowing to criticism from conservatives as Trump prepares to take office for a second time.
