Meta’s head of content policy Monika Bickert exits after 13 years to join Harvard Law School faculty

Meta's longtime content policy chief Monika Bickert, who oversaw the writing and enforcement of Facebook's content rules and regularly served as the company's public face during controversies over political content and teen mental health, is leaving Meta in August to teach at Harvard Law School. Bickert joined Facebook in 2012 as a former federal prosecutor and will work on a transition plan with Kevin Martin, who leads Meta's global policy team. Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan praised Bickert's contributions in a statement, as her departure marks the end of a 13-year tenure that spanned some of the most high-profile content moderation battles in social media history.
