Integrity teams at FB are teams that handle abuse on the platform, and other bad things (fake accounts, spam, malicious developers, malicious ads, ...). Why integrity? Bunch of teams (not all) that did abuse had integrity in their name (like site integrity, platform integrity), so I guess that the name just sticks.

And what does VP of integrity do? Manages organization that handles abuse on the platform.

well, VP of Abuse is exactly as good as VP of Spam. You know, it's not clear, whether you are trying to to reduce abuse/spam, or create it.

To be fair it’s often not clear whether Facebook are trying to reduce integrity, or create it. :)
