Nick Clegg, Facebook's VP of global affairs and communications, wrote an op-ed about the future of the Internet.

Judge as of 2019-06-25. True: Nick Clegg held the post of Facebook's VP of Global Affairs and Communications at that date, and before or on that date he wrote a published op-ed on the future of the Internet or its regulation (e.g. in a major newspaper in June 2019). Mostly true: the op-ed exists but the title is slightly off, or the topic is closely related (e.g. internet regulation). Mostly false: Clegg held the post but the op-ed was not by him or was on a different topic, or it was published after the claim date. False: no such op-ed by Clegg existed by that date and he did not hold the role. ("Important" is opinion and is not tested.)

   “Facebook’s vice president for global affairs and communications, Nick Clegg, took aim at Hughes in The New York Times on Sunday.”

   ““Fixing these problems requires significant resources — and strong new rules,” he wrote.”

Global News identifies Nick Clegg as Facebook's vice president for global affairs and communications as of May 2019 (E1). It also reports that he wrote a New York Times piece published before the claim date. That piece says fixing "these problems" requires "significant resources — and strong new rules" (E2). The piece responded to Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, who had called for breaking up Facebook (E1), and called for strong new rules (E2), which is closely related to the future of the Internet. The evidence shows Clegg held the post and wrote a New York Times op-ed before the claim date that called for strong new rules (E1, E2); it gives only limited detail of the piece's topic, so under the criteria the claim is mostly true.
