BCMA Disengaging with Meta Platforms
The BCMA has engaged in projects and conversations with our members around the ethical use of social media, the impacts of AI, and the perpetuation of online hate. From these conversations, it has become clear that continuing to use Meta platforms does not align with our values. As a result, the BCMA has decided to disengage from all Meta platforms, beginning May 16, 2025.
