“As well-intentioned as many of these efforts have been, they have expanded over time to the point where we are making too many mistakes, frustrating our users and too often getting in the way of the free expression we set out to enable.”

Following Musk’s Lead
Meta’s decision to relocate its trust and safety team mirrors a similar move by Elon Musk’s X platform, which left California for Texas in late 2024.
Musk’s departure was partly driven by dissatisfaction with California’s laws, including changes to parental notification rules for transgender students. By joining other tech giants in Texas, Meta signals a significant shift in the tech industry’s geographic and operational landscape.
