Just before Trump takes office, Meta is replacing its top policy exec with a prominent Republican
Meta’s top policy executive, Nick Clegg, is stepping down as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. His replacement is Joel Kaplan, a prominent Republican who previously held key roles in the White House under President George W. Bush. Kaplan will assume the role of vice president of global policy, effective immediately, with Kevin Martin, a former chairman of the US Federal Communications Commission, taking over his current position. The leadership transition comes as Meta aims to improve its relationship with the incoming Trump administration, which has been rocky in recent years. Zuckerberg has sought to cozy up to Trump, and Meta has rolled back some election-related content moderation efforts, moves welcomed by Republicans[1][3][5].
