Facebook Cross-check/XCheck VIP whitelisting
Cross-check (or ' XCheck ') is a system run by Facebook that double checks the posts of over 5 million 'VIP' users, including Donald Trump, Elizabeth Warren and Brazilian footballer Neymar . According to Meta VP Nick Clegg, Cross-check aims to prevent potential over-enforcement ('when we take action on content or accounts that don’t actually violate our policies') and to double-check cases where there could be a higher risk for a mistake or when the potential impact of a mistake is especially severe. Whitelist A whitelist or allowlist is a list or register of entities that are being provided a particular privilege, service, mobility, access or recognition. Entities on the list will be accepted, approved and/or recognized. Source: Wikipedia
