Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced a significant change in its global policy leadership, appointing Joel Kaplan as Chief Global Affairs Officer to replace Nick Clegg. Clegg, who has led Meta’s policy team since 2018, cited the timing as right for his departure amid a complex political landscape. Kaplan, known for his connections to the Republican Party and former service under President George W. Bush, is expected to align the company more closely with the incoming Trump administration. This transition reflects Meta's strategy as it navigates ongoing scrutiny over political bias and content moderation.
