Nick Clegg leaves Meta ahead of Trump's return as US president

Quick Summary:

He will be replaced by Republican Joel Kaplan, a former White House deputy chief of staff under President Bush.

In a post on Meta's Facebook on Thursday, Sir Nick, a former leader of the Liberal Democrats, said he was departing the company after nearly seven years.

His relations with Mr Zuckerberg have been particularly strained, after Facebook and Instagram suspended the former president's accounts for two years in 2021, after they said he praised those engaged in violence at the Capitol on 6 January.
