Mark Zuckerberg announced that the Meta content moderation team would be moving to Texas, leading some to wonder whether he'll be following.

The tech giant’s decision to end the program comes as CEO Mark Zuckerberg seeks to mend ties with the incoming Trump administration.

As part of Meta’s sweeping changes to content moderation announced today, CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that the company will also be moving its content moderation teams from California to Texas to “help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content,

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said moving teams from California to Texas and other states would help address concerns of overcensorship on its platforms.

In his announcement, Zuckerberg said he was relocating content moderation to Texas to “build trust” and “work in places where there is less concern about the bias of our teams.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg slighted his company's home state of California in a video announcing new content policies for Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

In that spirit, on Tuesday he announced that the trust and safety teams who write content policy for Facebook, Meta, and Threads would be moving from California to Texas. Facebook’s content cops will trade In & Out for Whataburger.

Zuckerberg claimed to be “excited” by “the opportunity to restore free expression,” but few who commented on his speech felt similarly thrilled. Those on the left wrote him off as a sellout. Those on the right wondered where Zuckerberg’s principles were during the past four years of judicial persecution and censorship.

The super-rich have long played a role in U.S. politics but have an unusually prominent spot in incoming President Donald Trump's new administration.
