Facebook hired a new public defender, and he should start with WhatsApp

Facebook has hired a new head of global policy and communications to replace Elliot Schrage.

With Facebook currently in the crosshairs of European regulators over a wide range of issues, Clegg brings a perspective and a clout that the company has previously lacked.

Of course, managing those unintended downsides will probably represent the bulk of Clegg’s time at Facebook.

As Laura Hazard Owen notes, much more important was the way Facebook talked about video, with Mark Zuckerberg himself predicting that video would soon become the dominant form of communication on the platform.

This is all the more remarkable considering BuzzFeed started Tasty just in July 2015.

The late Sen. John McCain was “an old geezer.” House Speaker Paul Ryan is “a complete and absolute nobody.” And the investigation into possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia is a “witch hunt” led by “an establishment puppet.”
