Former deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg has been promoted by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to a new role focused on regulation which puts him at the same level of seniority as the firm’s founder.

The 55-year-old was recruited by Facebook in 2018 to be its head of global affairs as Zuckerberg sought to repair the company’s reputation over its role in spreading misinformation during elections.
