UFC boss to join board of Facebook owner Meta

It comes days after former UK deputy PM Sir Nick Clegg left his top job at the social media giant.

Meta has announced the appointment of three new board members including the chief executive of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and close Donald Trump ally, Dana White. "Dana, John and Charlie will add a depth of expertise and perspective that will help us tackle the massive opportunities ahead with [artificial intelligence], wearables and the future of human connection," said Mr Zuckerberg in a statement. But the president-elect later softened his position, telling a podcast in October it was "nice" that Mr Zuckerberg was "staying out of the election", and thanking him for a personal phone call after he faced an assassination attempt.
