WASHINGTON:

The change atop Meta's policy and communications teams comes in the run-up to US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, as the company mends fences with a leader who has railed against its approach to political content and threatened to imprison its chief executive.

Kaplan previously reported to Clegg, who was formerly British deputy prime minister and leader of the country's center-left Liberal Democrats.

Another long-time Meta executive with a background in Republican politics, Kevin Martin, will take over Kaplan's old job running global policy, Clegg said in social media posts on Thursday.

"As a new year begins, I have come to the view that this is the right time for me to move on from my role as President, Global Affairs at Meta," Clegg wrote.
