FACEBOOK POLICY PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT SERIES
In a series of tweets, Facebook Communications Director Andy Stone stressed how the company has made its "Cross-check" system public before in 2018 after Channel 4 News posed questions about the practice. Some of the company documents will be handed over to the Securities and Exchange Commission and Congress, with that person requesting federal whistleblower protection, per the WSJ. Company documents also show Facebook's intention to eradicate the system - a product manager proposed a plan to stop allowing Facebook employees to add new users to XCheck as a solution. Another employee also said Facebook is "influenced by political considerations" when making content moderation decisions, the paper reported.įacebook acknowledged XCheck and its downfalls years ago and told the Journal that it's trying to terminate its whitelisting practice. Facebook Is Criticized for Policy on Preferential Treatment - The New York Times Advertisement Facebook’s oversight board faults its policy on preferential treatment. "Having different rules on speech for different people is very troubling to me," one wrote in a memo viewed by the Journal. But the Journal viewed a 2019 audit that found Facebook doesn't always keep a record of who it whitelists and why, which poses "numerous legal, compliance, and legitimacy risks for the company and harm to our community."įacebook employees, including an executive who led its civic team, expressed disapproval with the company's practice of doling outs special treatment for some users and said it was not in alignment with Facebook's values, the paper reported. Most Facebook employees have the power to add users to the XCheck system for whitelisting status, a term used to describe high-profile accounts that don't have to follow the rules. Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told the Journal that the number grew in 2020 but did not provide evidence to support that assertion. In this paper, we develop and apply two indices to measure the tariff component of bilateral and multilateral trade restrictions less developed. Less than 10% of the content that XCheck flagged to the company as needing attention was reviewed, per a document reported by the paper. Empirical research on preferential treatment for developing economies has generally not considered how relative preferential margins might influence market access to a given destination market. Neymar's sharing of "nonconsensual intimate imagery" would have prompted Facebook to delete the post, but since Neymar was covered by XCheck, moderators were blocked from removing the content, which was then seen by 56 million online users. The screenshots showed her name and nude photos of her. When users are added to it, it's more difficult for moderators to take action against them, like with Neymar, who posted his WhatsApp communication with a woman who accused him of rape to his Facebook and Instagram accounts.
But as The Journal reported, XCheck has led to a bevy of other problems.
