Facebook Inc.’s Oversight Board said it is reviewing the company’s practice of holding high-profile users to separate sets of rules, citing apparent inconsistencies in the way the social-media giant makes decisions.
The inquiry follows an investigation by The Wall Street Journal into the system, known internally as “cross-check” or “XCheck.” The Oversight Board, an outside body that Facebook created to ensure the accountability of the company’s enforcement systems, said it has reached out to the company and expects a briefing in coming days.
