Meta’s chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that the company will relocate its “trust and safety team” from California to Texas. This decision comes as Meta rethinks its approach to content moderation across its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
The relocation aligns with Meta’s broader strategy to reduce content policing and focus on “illegal and high severity issues” such as terrorism, drugs, and child sexual exploitation.
Although Meta has not disclosed the specific Texas location for the team, the company already operates in Austin and has smaller offices in Garland, Fort Worth, Temple, and Houston.
“We are going to move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our U.S.-based content review is going to be based in Texas,” Zuckerberg stated in the announcement video.
