High-tech company Yahoo has removed several pages and other sections from its corporate website in recent months in relation to its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.
Sections on Yahoo’s website, previously exclusive to DEI, are no longer loaded and instead redirected to the company’s executive leadership page. Previous versions of Yahoo’s Leadership Page in late 2024 mention diversity and inclusion, but are not featured on Yahoo’s current website. Yahoo’s 2022 Diversity Report loads and returns a “Page Not Found” error. The open position on Yahoo’s career website still promotes links to Yahoo’s previous Dei pages, but this page is redirected to Yahoo’s Leadership Page.
According to a historic copy of the Yahoo website hosted on Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, Yahoo, which owns TechCrunch, made changes to its website between December 2024 and January 2025.
Yahoo’s spokesperson Brenden Lee told TechCrunch: “At the end of last year, we improved our company’s website as the first part of a planned multiphase redesign to coincide with the renewal of CES and Yahoo Ads.
Yahoo is the latest US company to scale back official 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 pressure private companies to roll back the DEI program. In February, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondy ordered the Department of Justice to “investigate, eliminate, and fine” the DEI program in private companies that receive federal funds.
Several tech companies, including Google and Openai, have already rubbed DEI mentions from their websites in recent months. Meta also eliminated corporate DEI programs a few days before the Trump administration took office, citing the “changeable” legal landscape of DEIs. Soon afterwards, Amazon removed the inclusion and diversity language from its annual report submitted to regulatory authorities.
TechCrunch reported in March that US health insurance giant UnitedHealth also scrubed many of the websites mentioned by DEI.
Disclosure: Yahoo is the parent company of TechCrunch. On March 21st, Regent announced that it would acquire TechCrunch.
