- The dead bases that prevent employees from discussing politics, health and weapons at work.
- Rules, named, societal participation expectations, restricted to irony categories such as sweat.
- Some employees have formed CEE WATCH to monitor post -science and transparent enforcement.
Some Meta employees ask about the company’s removal of their participation and comments from its internal forum.
Employees created a group at the workplace of the internal forum to exchange their experiences in the posts that Business Insider saw.
In 2022, META introduced new internal rules that prevent employees from discussing controversial topics such as politics, health and weapons. The guidelines, which are called the expectations of community participation (CEE), also prevent the comments and functions that are seen as a protected category including race, sex and religion.
Some Meta employees accused the company of using the CEE system to control the correct discussions. Some employees recently created a set of resources for internal staff called CEE Watch for Meta employees for the brand when removing a post, according to the internal documents that Business Insider saw.
“CEE language is intentionally vague and we cannot know how it is imposed without sharing our violations openly with each other,” he reads a welcome post on the CEE monitoring page.
The CEE Watch group had more than 800 members, at the time of publication, represented a small part of the 72000 workforce from Meta.
A Meta spokesman said that the company does not remove the internal employees’ comments just because it does not agree or love it. The person noticed that many monetary comments are still based on the interior telecommunications panels in Meta.
One of the employees wrote that multiple jobs were removed about Palestine during the past year. A person asked how employees can engage in discussions about “what are the acceptable identity forms to discuss work.”
Another person commented and said that he was a “open secret” in the “Muslim” resources group that was publishing “relatively harmless (for example, leaflets about a person who grieves a member of his family from Gaza).
Another added that their publication on the sadness of the family members who were removed was removed.
While freedom of expression is a fundamental constitutional right in public places, it does not extend to private companies. As special entities, companies have legal authority to develop their own policies regarding what employees can or cannot say in the workplace.
CEE’s last update was updated in October 2024, according to a BI version.
It states that “it is not fine” for employees to share the content that has “the ability to raise sabotage comments” on topics including: political movements or the reasons related to countries, nations or people (for example, opinions on the forms of governments or political systems Or economic systems;
In a separate publication entitled “Communications on LGBTQ HealthCare and Health Plans”, one of the employees said they asked the Meta Employment Law group whether LGBTQ+ and their children will continue to reach the gender care after removing the Meta general advantages page.
The person said they “heard that there are no plans to update the plan, but they will comply with the laws in force.”
Another person said that the ACT performance group, which had previously performed the company’s employee resource group (ERG), was investigated by the company and was later banned because they claimed that the group had violated CEE guidance. The person said that the performance was broadcast throughout Erg and said with positive reviews.
“This seems to be a non -executable penalty for this performer and affects their livelihoods,” the person wrote. “I am currently escalating this situation now, but I thought it would be useful to share CEE also to the guests of Meta (apparently even retroactively).”
In a comment according to his publication, the original poster claims that during his personal conversation with the relationship between the internal community, they said that “these types of people relate to violating the content” (referring to the performance of the clouds). She left the conversation very annoyed. “
The person shared a message from the relations team between the internal community, which said that the performance of the ACT group in 2022 violated CEE policies and other company policies, “including multiple notes that decompose about various protected groups, and multiple counterparts of common sexual content.”
Meta employees are increasingly loud about the moderation of the company’s content in its internal forums, with some of them directly challenging what they consider controlling discussions in the workplace.
“This is the issue of freedom of expression,” wrote one of the employees after linked to a news article about Donald Trump.
The employee asked about how Meta, a company aimed at “strictly against threats”, could restrict the internal discourse about its leadership.
A six -year employee described the civil integrity team in Meta the deterioration of confidence between the leadership and the employees.
“When you tell people that they should resign if they do not agree with your decisions, this reflects the lack of confidence in your people,” they wrote, and put nude tensions on recent political changes.
CEE guidance states that “the consequences of violating this policy differ depending on the severity of the violation and the other context like the behavior of the former person.” It lists disciplinary procedures, including ending work, as an example of the consequences.
The campaign looks particularly sharp in reality laboratories, the virtual reality section of Meta. One of the paradoxical employees of “publicly” observed as a basic principle while facing content removal.
They wrote: “Even attempts to conduct a more polite discussion recognize how people respond to politics changes … they have been dropped.” They also expressed concern about the potential revenge in the demobilization of Meta workers to discuss the conditions of the workplace.
More employees wrote about the climate of fear about publishing, sometimes removing it within minutes without explanation.
One of the colleagues who delete the comments and self -censorship described “because they were afraid that they might be targeted by CEE and the administration until a positive reaction to a post.”
“I have very mixed feelings about Meta at this stage,” wrote a CIVIC Integity employee, a feeling that has been shared through several multiple posts.
“The biggest value of this company is not its products or technology, but its people. It makes it all possible. Perhaps the leadership of this company understood this at some point, but it seems that it may forget it.”
