Meta deleted nonbinary and trans themes for its Messenger app this week, around the same time that the company announced it would change its rules to allow users to declare that LGBTQ+ people are “mentally ill,” 404 Media has learned.

Zuck scrambling to be a bootlicker for the incoming administration.

    Trump has been pro gay marriage 100 percent of his presidency, as per the 60 minutes interview he did just a few days after being elected in ‘16. The previous President can’t say the same. Why didn’t these huge bootlicking efforts of removing profile icons happen in 2017-2020 during his first term?

    I’m not disagreeing that could be what’s happening here to some degree but I’m also not 100 percent convinced that Trump is going to take notice of a small UI/profile customization change in an app he almost certainly doesn’t use with any regularity himself.
