I just can't take Nick Clegg seriously as Facebook's VP of Global Affairs. He was clearly recruited for being media savvy and having a certain reputation as a politician but hearing him say "we" when describing the company really doesn't sit well.

He's a spokesman, a public face, towing the company line and hoping to use his past to seem and sound convincing.

He is neither.

He is still a politician spouting ambiguous answers and spin to avoid direct questions, being fed by a media team that is responsible to engineers rather than civil servants.
