SAN FRANCISCO, March 27 - Monika Bickert, Meta’s long-time content policy chief, is departing for Harvard Law School.
Bickert, who led Facebook’s content policies since 2012, will remain at Meta through August to help transition her role to Kevin Martin, who leads the global policy team.
A former federal prosecutor, Bickert was a key figure during controversies involving political content and teen mental health.
She once stated, “Yes, we’re a business and we make profit, but the idea that we do so at the expense of people’s safety or well-being misunderstands where our own commercial interests lie.”
Meta’s Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan praised her contributions.
