Sir Nick Clegg, former deputy prime minister of the UK, is resigning from his role as president of global affairs at Meta after nearly seven years. His departure coincides with Donald Trump’s anticipated return to the White House. Clegg’s successor, Joel Kaplan, has strong Republican ties, and Clegg’s exit is seen as a reflection of shifting political dynamics. During his tenure, Clegg emphasized the importance of balancing tech responsibilities with societal pressures and played a pivotal role in Meta’s content moderation policies.
