Meta's Global Affairs Chief, Former UK Deputy PM Nick Clegg, Resigns Ahead of Trump's Inauguration; Republican Joel Kaplan Takes Over
Jan 2, 2025, 07:42 PM
Nick Clegg, former UK Deputy Prime Minister and Meta's President of Global Affairs, has announced his resignation from the company. In his own statement, Clegg expressed that it was the right time to move on. He will be succeeded by his deputy, Joel Kaplan, a prominent Republican and close ally of Elise Stefanik. Kaplan, known for his advocacy against censorship within Meta, is a friend of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and previously survived internal pressure over his support. The leadership change comes as Meta maneuvers ahead of President Donald Trump's inauguration and is seen as politically significant.
