Facebook’s chief of security late Monday said his role has shifted to focusing on emerging risks and election security at the global social network, which is under fire for letting its platform be used to spread bogus news and manipulate voters.
Alex Stamos revealed the change in his role at work after a New York Times report that he was leaving Facebook in the wake of internal clashes over how to deal with the platform being used to spread misinformation.
“Despite the rumors, I’m still fully engaged with my work at Facebook,” Stamos said in a message posted at his verified Twitter account.
