The Facebook Oversight Board Criticizes Cross Check Program

The Facebook Oversight Board has criticized the company's Cross Check program, which moderates content posted by high-profile users, for being driven more by Meta's desire to avoid negative PR than by a commitment to safeguarding the public. The board has called for significant changes to the program, including increased transparency and accountability. Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, has said that the company will respond to the report within 90 days.
