Nick Clegg is Facebook's new face

Sir Nick Clegg — former U.K. deputy prime minister, now Facebook's new vice president of global affairs and communications — "acknowledges the company is in a bad place on a range of issues, [and] is casting himself as the adult who can make this young company grow up," BBC media editor Amol Rajan writes.

Why it matters: "These words ... are part of a more open and conciliatory tone the company wants, through him, to adopt."
