Facebook's moderation systems for "high profile users" favour Meta
 

No priority for*free speech and civil rights

A policy which protects "high-profile" Facebook and Instagram users from moderation was structured so it did not prioritise protecting free speech and civil rights and was designed to protect the social notworking giant's interests.

The oversight board, which scrutinises moderation decisions on Facebook and Instagram, said the platforms’ “cross-check” system appeared to favour “business partners” including celebrities who generate money for the company. Journalists and civil society organisations had “less clear paths” to access the programme.

The board said that while Meta told the board that cross-check aims to advance Meta’s human rights commitments, the programme appears more directly structured to satisfy business concerns.*
