1. Meta reduced funding to the board significantly this year and has signaled that it will do so again in 2027 and 2028, sources said, and staff members are bracing for another round of layoffs. The sides are currently negotiating a compromise that would allow the board’s work to continue in some form. But a raft of options remain on the table, including a break with Meta that would see the board’s trust create a new entity that performs similar work for other tech platforms.
