The VIP “cross-check” programme will be changed, but Meta won’t say who will be involved

Meta decided to at least partially implement 26 of the 32 proposals. These include adjustments to how cross-check cases are handled internally at the corporation, as well as vows to provide more information about the programme to the Oversight Board. In addition, the corporation promised to eliminate the backlog of cases.

Nevertheless, Meta did not follow the Oversight Board’s advice to publicly reveal politicians, state actors, companies, and other public figures who profit from cross-check safeguards. The corporation stated that publicly exposing specifics about the programme “may result in a slew of unforeseen effects, rendering it both unworkable and unsustainable,” and that it would open the door to being “game(d)” by undesirable actors.
