Leathern said in the post that he was “leaving to work on consumer privacy beyond just ads and social media,” without disclosing where he was headed.
Leathern was often the public face of the company’s questionable political advertising policies. Before the November 3 US election, Facebook was heavily criticized for allowing misleading claims and conspiracy theories to spread widely on its platforms.
