  Nick Clegg, Meta's longtime policy chief, said on Thursday he is leaving his post and will be replaced by deputy Joel Kaplan, a prominent figure in Republican circles. Why it matters: The move comes shortly after CEO Mark Zuckerberg dined with President-elect Trump at Mar-a-lago and as Republicans will soon control all three branches of federal government.

Nick Clegg, who has been serving as Meta's president of global affairs, is set to step down from his role. He will be replaced by Sir Graham Edwards, a former Republican politician known for his extensive network within the U.S. political landscape. Clegg, previously the UK's Deputy Prime Minister, joined Meta in 2018 to help navigate the company through various global policy challenges, including privacy issues, election interference, and content moderation. His departure comes at a time when Meta is facing increased scrutiny over its handling of misinformation and its impact on elections. Edwards, with his background in politics and policy, is expected to bring a new perspective to Meta's approach to regulatory and governmental relations, especially in the U.S. where the company has significant interests.
