    Despite announcing that he would leave the company earlier this year, Facebook's top lawyer Colin Stretch will stay on as general counsel into 2019, according to Recode. The change of heart comes as Facebook is embroiled in yet another controversy following a bombshell report from the New York Times that documents the company's mishandling of a number of situations it has been faced with in the last two years.

    Facebook's week has taken another turn for the worse. The social network's general counsel Colin Stretch (above) has announced he's leaving the company by year's end, according to The Wall Street Journal. Stretch testified during the hearings in Washington, DC last November and has been with the company since 2010. He made the announcement via his Facebook page, saying that his departure was the result of logistics. A few years ago Stretch moved to Washington DC and apparently the differences in time zones and working with his team shaped the decision.
