In recent months, tech company Yahoo has removed several pages and other sections from its corporate website that dealt with its diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) policy, TechCrunch reports.
The section of Yahoo’s website that used to be dedicated to DEI no longer loads, but instead redirects to the company’s executive leadership page. The previous version of Yahoo’s leadership page from late 2024 included language about diversity and inclusion, but it is not on the current Yahoo website. Yahoo’s 2022 diversity report no longer loads and returns a “page not found” error. While open positions on Yahoo’s career site still include a link to the former DEI page, the page now redirects to Yahoo’s leadership page.
Yahoo, which owns TechCrunch, made the changes to the site between December 2024 and January 2025, according to historical copies of the Yahoo site posted on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
Brendan Lee, a Yahoo spokesperson, told TechCrunch in a statement: “Late last year, we refreshed our corporate website, the first part of a planned multi-phase redesign to coincide with CES and the relaunch of Yahoo Ads. The first phase reduced overall content by nearly 60 percent with a focus on simplifying navigation and highlighting our advertising and business solutions.”
Yahoo is the latest U.S. company to reduce the number of public statements about DEI amid the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to crack down on DEI policies in both the public and private sectors.
Since taking office again, President Trump has signed several executive orders aimed at putting pressure on private companies to wind down their DEI programs. In February, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the Department of Justice to “investigate, dismantle, and punish” DEI programs at private companies that receive federal funds.
Several tech companies, including Google and OpenAI, have already removed references to DEI from their websites in recent months. Meta also eliminated its corporate DEI programs a few days before the Trump administration took office, citing the “changing” legal landscape around DEI. Shortly thereafter, Amazon removed language related to inclusion and diversity from its annual report filed with regulators.
In March, TechCrunch reported that the US health insurance giant UnitedHealth had also scrubbed most of its website of references to DEI.
