Meta to lay off hundreds of employees, The Information reports

Meta will lay off a few hundred employees across Reality Labs, social media teams and recruiting, according to The Information, with cuts effective Wednesday. The reductions are modest relative to Meta's overall headcount and likely represent targeted cost-cutting and restructuring around Reality Labs and product teams; near-term earnings and market impact should be limited but the move signals continued operating-model adjustments.
