There have been thousands of layoffs at other significant digital firms, including Twitter, owned by Elon Musk, and Microsoft. Meta’s layoffs are the first in its 18-year history.
In the face of decades-high inflation and swiftly rising interest rates, the economic boom that increased the value of tech businesses this year has collapsed.
