Facebook Oversight Board will investigate whether the company has different rules for powerful users by abebrown716

The board said Tuesday it would soon receive a briefing from Facebook executives about the program known as Cross Check or “XCheck,” which thereports protected millions of celebrity users from moderation, amid concerns that Facbeook purposefully misled the board about its rules.

Facebook does not appear to be any more immediately forthcoming with board than with the journalists who broke the story. The board says it asked Facebook to explain Cross Check while sharing the criteria used to add someone to it and how often content was erronously flagged through the system.

The Oversight Board appears largely unconvinced that Facebook is wholeheartedly buying into that mission. In its latest blog post, the board again called on Facebook to begin specifying the exact rule broken by a piece rather than broadly stating it violated community standards.
