Meta CTO Says Company Mishandled Introduction of New Content Policies

Meta Platforms Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth on Tuesday told staff that the company had handled parts of recent changes to its human resources and content moderation policies clumsily, and that it plans to “correct” some of the changes.

“There were things I think were pretty ham-fisted, borderline unintentional,” Bosworth said in a question-and-answer session with employees of Meta’s augmented and virtual reality unit, Reality Labs, according to a recording reviewed by The Information. “It wasn’t flawless is what I would say, so we’re correcting those things. We’re finding a path towards correction of those things,” he added.
