Google is following the Trump administration’s lead on purging diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, cutting mentions of DEI from its annual report and scrapping its goal of hiring applicants from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

Google has become the latest big tech company to scrap diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the wake of President Donald Trump 's attacks against such programs.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google told employees that it will no longer formally seek to improve the diversity of its workforce, marking the latest step in Silicon Valley’s retreat from initiatives that have fallen out of favor during US President Donald Trump’s administration.
