Google, part of the Alphabet holding, has announced a review of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology in terms of hiring from historically underrepresented groups, The Guardian reports.

The company confirmed the changes in its annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), removing a line saying it was “committed to making diversity, equity and inclusion part of everything we do and to growing a workforce that is representative of the users we serve.” This statement had been included in reports from 2021 to 2023.

In an internal memo, Google's HR Chief Fiona Cicconi explained that the company would no longer adhere to such goals.

This move follows similar recent actions by other tech giants:

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Facebook and Instagram allowed users to refer to transgender individuals as mentally ill.
