Facebook Oversight Board Launches Review of XCheck System for High-Profile Users

Facebook s Oversight Board will review the company s practice of holding its high-profile users to separate sets of rules due to inconsistencies in the social media honcho s decision making. 

The review comes after an investigation by the Wall Street Journal into the system, known as cross-check or XCheck, which was created to oversee accounts of celebrities, politicians and journalists. According to documents viewed by the Journal, it grew to include millions of accounts. 

Facebook told its Oversight Board that its system for high-profile users was only used in a small number of decisions.
