Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced today that board member Peter Thiel will not seek reelection to his post, effectively ending his tenure in the top echelon of the social media company’s leadership.

The move is not an enormous surprise. Thiel has been increasingly publicly involved with political activities, including backing several Congressional candidates. Given the importance of Meta’s Facebook and WhatsApp services in the global conversation, especially during electoral periods, having a less politically charged board could prove salubrious.
