Two of Facebook's Top Execs Are Leaving the Company

Facebook product chief Chris Cox and WhatsApp head Chris Daniels are out

Facebook chief product officer Chris Cox and WhatsApp vice president Chris Daniels are leaving the social network, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a note on Thursday.

The departure of the two top executives comes the week after Zuckerberg unveiled a manifesto charting a new user-privacy-focused direction for the company, one more focused on group messaging and encryption, and just a day after The New York Times reported that the Eastern District of New York was investigating the company for data deals it has with several other big tech companies.
