Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firm Glass Lewis Also Recommends Shareholders Vote FOR JLens Proposal

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2026-- JLens, a Registered Investment Advisor that empowers investors to align their capital with Jewish values, today reiterated its call for shareholders of Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META) (“Meta” or the “Company”) to vote FOR Shareholder Proposal 8, which seeks greater accountability and transparency for Meta’s content moderation practices. The proposal is on the ballot for Meta’s annual shareholder meeting taking place on May 27, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT.

Proposal 8 submitted by JLens seeks much needed transparency into the proliferation of antisemitism and other forms of online hate on Meta’s platforms and services. The proposal reads as follows:

RESOLVED: Shareholders request that Meta Platforms, Inc. prepare a report, at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, detailing the company’s policies, practices, and effectiveness in addressing antisemitism and other forms of online hate on its platforms and services. The report should evaluate the adequacy of moderation, enforcement, user protection, ad policies, and transparency efforts, with findings made publicly available within one year.

JLens believes that a detailed report on Meta’s efforts to combat antisemitism and other forms of online hate would provide shareholders critical insights into corporate policies while fostering a safer online environment. JLens argues that ineffective content moderation may drive users to platforms with stronger protections and deter advertisers that prioritize brand safety, thereby reducing engagement and revenue.

Independent Proxy Advisor and Shareholder Support

JLens noted that a leading independent proxy advisory firm, Glass, Lewis & Co., has recommended that Meta shareholders vote FOR Proposal 8. A similar proposal submitted by JLens at Meta’s 2025 annual meeting received nearly 47% support from the votes cast by the Company’s independent shareholders, making it the highest-performing human rights-related shareholder proposal of the 2025 proxy season at any U.S. company.

Meta Weakens Trust and Safety Practices

According to JLens, Meta has weakened some key trust and safety practices despite calls for stronger content moderation efforts. The Company has dismantled its third-party fact-checking program and relaxed its "hateful conduct" community standard. In the wake of those actions, research by ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) found numerous examples on Instagram of white supremacist, Holocaust denial, antisemitic conspiracy theories and neo-Nazi content, as well as Instagram accounts linked to U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations — including ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the PFLP. The ADL report also revealed that the Company’s Instagram platform failed to remove 93% of hateful and extremist content identified by researchers.

“Meta’s inaction can expose millions of users to harmful content on its platforms and services every day,” said Ari Hoffnung, Managing Director of JLens. “In addition to the impact on society at large, this apparent and appalling lack of concern for hateful content has the potential to alienate users and advertisers. We believe the remedy is transparency, accountability and responsibility, and we urge shareholders to vote FOR Proposal 8.”

JLens has filed a Notice of Exempt Solicitation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to provide additional context and rationale for the shareholder proposal.
