JAKARTA Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly met with US President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, January 10, according to news website Semafor citing trusted sources.

Meta and Trump's transition team have not yet responded to requests for comment from the media regarding the meeting.

Meta had problems with Trump, following the riots of the president's announcement in January 2020, in which Meta froze Trump's Facebook account. But now the account has been restored, and Trump also used it for the last US presidential election campaign.

On the same day, Meta announced the termination of the diversion, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program which includes recruitment, training, and supplier selection. This information is conveyed through an internal memo to its employees.

Previously, the giant tech company also removed the fact-checking program in the US and relaxed restrictions on sensitive issues such as immigration and gender identity. This move is seen as a response to criticism from conservative groups as Trump prepares to start his second term as president.

This Meta policy change is in the spotlight amid the increasingly intense political and social dynamics ahead of Trump's inauguration.
