Meta deleted nonbinary and trans themes for its Messenger app this week, around the same time that the company announced it would change its rules to allow users to declare that LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill, 404 Media has learned.
Metas Messenger app allows users to change the color scheme and design of their chat windows with different themes. For example, there is currently a Squid Game theme, a Minecraft theme, a Basketball theme, and a Love theme, among many others.
These themes regularly change, but for the last few years they have featured a trans theme and a nonbinary theme, which had color schemes that matched the trans pride flag and the non-binary pride flag. Meta did not respond to a request for comment about why the company removed these themes, but the change comes right as Mark Zuckerbergs company is publicly and loudly shifting rightward to more closely align itself with the views of the incoming Donald Trump administration. 404 Media reported Thursday that many employees are protesting the anti LGBTQ+ changes and that its total chaos internally at Meta right now because of the changes.
Zuckerberg has always been a piece of shit. He keeps stealing ancestral land from people in Hawaii to build his huge land estateYep, oligarchs hoarding end of times land masses because radioactive zombies will create FB accounts.
Bending the knee.
And to think, he used to be slightly more respectable than Musk just a year or so ago?
Relatively speaking.
They are making it illegal to say who you are. Disgusting
how does legality come into play here? this is a private decision by a private company. i mean, i still think it's really stupid and virtue signaling to the wrong people, but they aren't saying anything is ilegalPlay this tape all the way to the end, the last track is genocide.

What he's doing is disgusting, but he can't make anything illegal.The people he's desperately appeasing, however, very much can.

This is how it starts. Musk and Trump are going to legally oppress trans people when in office.
It starts with social stuff like this
I hate all this recent bullshit so much... We made so much progress in small steps, and it's all being walked back or taken away frighteningly fast.The progress was in general acceptance. The swine can change the rules but they can't change acceptance outside their small circle.
if the call for legislation starts, i'll join the protests. but in the meantime, we should just dump Meta's horrible products and we'll all be better off for it.Trump said he's banning trans kids from school
if the call for legislation starts,That call started.
Trump said he's banning trans kids from schoolPlus Musk and his minions keep talking about wiping out transgenderism
Zuck is Trumpifying Meta at an alarming paceIsnt most of Facebook a bunch of maga? I dont know anyone with left leaning views
Trump said he's banning trans kids from school
he also said he will annex Canada, Mexico, Greenland and the Panama Canal. he's even said he won't do anything about trans people because they're such a minority. he's full of shit, he changes his mind every 30 seconds (because he's high asf on legal amphetamines) and only follows through with like 10% of what he actually says he will do. i don't have the mental energy to be outraged at every wild accusation he makes, or wild promise he starts for another four years.
if that legislation actually starts to gain traction in Congress, get back to me.
If only there had been a way to prevent this
Dont protest until the bills are almost laws and its too lateAin't his life on the line.
got it
Ain't his life on the line.
i mean, if you want to be outraged at every single thing Trump says for the next four years, i wish you luck.
are you out there protesting?
framing my replies as if i dont care about trans people because I'm not one is really disingenuous. i have this same reaction to any outrageous claim Trump makes these days, even ones that would directly affect me or people i love.
framing my replies as if i dont care about trans people because I'm not one is really disingenuous.Considering how this isn't the first, second, or third time you've been in this exact argument and kept poo-pooing everything people kept telling you, even as it gets worse by the day?
This not just random Trump claim. Musk & now Zuck are waging war against trans.

you moved the goalposts to talk about legality, which is why i brought up Trump. i don't deny that Musk and Zuck are being shitheads about the whole situation.
i am saving that outrage for when his words begin to materialize into actions.they
