Human rights groups protest Meta shareholder meeting over

The action comes after nearly 200 Meta employees signed an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg demanding an end to alleged censorship

As Meta kicks off its annual shareholder meeting Wednesday, human rights groups have coordinated protests calling the company to put an end to what they call systemic censorship of pro-Palestine content, both on the company’s social networks and within its own workforce.

The day of action comes after nearly 200 Meta employees signed a letter to Mark Zuckerberg this month demanding the company put an end to alleged censorship of internal voices advocating for Palestinian rights. The employees called for more transparency around alleged biases on public facing platforms and issued a statement urging for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
