I read the reduction in the CSO's staff as a prelude to his leaving the company, not as a "nerfing" to his role.

His team has been reassigned in december already:

"By December 2017, Mr. Stamos, who reports to Facebook’s general counsel, proposed that he report directly to higher-ups. Facebook executives rejected that proposal and instead reassigned Mr. Stamos’s team"

Damn. This reeks of higher-ups knowing what was going on (or taking advice from malvolent scrupulous people) in order to maintain plausible deniability.

He wanted to leave after he was reassigned - in other words, because he was reassigned. They convinced him to stay because him quitting then would have looked bad for the company. That's what 7 sources told the NYT.
