According to information obtained by TechCrunch, the tech giant Yahoo has deleted a number of pages and other parts pertaining to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy from its corporate website in recent months.
The DEI part of Yahoo’s website no longer loads; instead, it reroutes to the executive leadership page of the firm. Although it is absent from Yahoo’s current website, a late 2024 version of the company’s leadership page featured wording referring to diversity and inclusion. Yahoo now displays a “page not found” error and the 2022 diversity report does not load. Although Yahoo’s job website still lists a link to its previous DEI page for open positions, the page now reroutes to Yahoo’s leadership page.
According to old versions of Yahoo’s website kept on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, the company that owns TechCrunch made adjustments to the website between December 2024 and January 2025.
“We redesigned our corporate website late last year as the first part of a planned, multi-phase redesign timed to CES and our Yahoo Ads relaunch,” Yahoo spokesperson Brenden Lee told TechCrunch in a statement. In order to streamline navigation and highlight our advertising and commercial solutions, the first phase cut the overall volume of information by about 60%.
In light of the Trump administration’s continued efforts to crack down on DEI policy in both the public and private sectors, Yahoo is the most recent American firm to tone down its public remarks regarding DEI.
President Trump has issued a number of executive orders since returning to office with the intention of pressuring private firms to halt their DEI initiatives. The Justice Department was directed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in February to “investigate, eliminate, and penalize” DEI programs at private sector businesses that receive federal funding.
In recent months, a number of IT companies have already removed references to DEI from their websites, including Google and OpenAI. Days before the Trump administration took office, Meta also terminated their corporate DEI programs, citing a “changing” DEI legal environment. Shortly after, Amazon removed language on diversity and inclusion from its yearly report that was submitted to authorities.
The U.S. health insurance behemoth UnitedHealth likewise removed references to DEI from a large portion of its website, according to a March TechCrunch story.
Disclosure: TechCrunch’s parent company is Yahoo. Regent declared on March 21 that it will buy TechCrunch.
