Facebook’s high-profile head of security Alex Stamos is leaving after clashing with other execs over Russia (FB)
Alex Stamos, Facebook’s chief information security officer, is leaving the company as it grapples with a storm of controversies relating to its role in spreading misinformation, according to a report in the New York Times on Monday. Stamos favored being more transparent with the public about how the 2-billion member social network was misused to spread propaganda during the 2016 presidential election, according to the report which cites anonymous sources familiar with the matter. A well-known figure in the world of cybersecurity, Stamos’ day-to-day responsibilities were assigned to others in December — prompting him to make plans to leave, the Times said.
