Meta's Board Appointment Raises Controversy

The appointment of Dana White, president of UFC, to Meta's board has sparked significant internal backlash. White's controversial history, including a widely publicized incident of domestic violence, has raised concerns among employees about the ethics of his leadership role. Internal communications criticizing the appointment were deleted by Meta's content moderators under strict community engagement expectations, illustrating a troubling disconnect between the company's public advocacy for free speech and its internal censorship practices. This situation has highlighted ongoing tensions within Meta as it shifts towards a more conservative management approach, allowing more controversial content on its platforms.
