This language has been removed, or in some cases replaced by a less specific wording (for example, “all”, “varied” and “numerous” rather than “various”)

The modifications, which were identified by the surveillance group, the Midas project, intervene after Google has deleted a similar language from its subsidy website of the founders of startups. The company declared in early February that it would eliminate its objectives of hiring of diversity and would examine its programs of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
Google is among the many large technological companies that have made DEI initiatives go back while the Trump administration targets what it characterizes as “illegal“Practical. Amazon and Meta have resumed the measures of I in recent months, and Openai has recently deleted the mentions of diversity and inclusion of a web page on its hiring practices. Apple, however, recently rejected a proposal from shareholders aimed at putting an end to its Dei programs.
Many of these companies, including Google, have contracts with federal agencies.
