(AP Photo\/Tony Avelar, File)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>London: Facebook parent Meta<\/a>'s quasi-independent oversight board<\/a> said Tuesday that an internal system that exempted high-profile users, including former U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a>, from some or all of its content moderation rules needs a major overhaul. The report by the Oversight Board, which was more than a year in the making, said the system \"is flawed in key areas which the company must address.\"

Meta asked the board to look into the system after The Wall Street Journal reported last year that it was being abused by many of its elite users, who were posting material that would result in penalties for ordinary people, including for harassment and incitement of violence.

Facebook's rules reportedly didn't seem to apply to some VIP users while others faced reviews of rule-breaking posts that never happened, according to the Journal article, which said the system had at least 5.8 million exempted users as of 2020.

The system - known as \"XCheck,\" or cross-check - was exposed in Facebook documents leaked by Frances Haugen, a former product manager turned whistleblower who captured worldwide headlines with revelations alleging that the social media company prioritized profits over online safety and galvanized regulators into cracking down on hate speech and misinformation.

Nick Clegg<\/a>, Meta's president for global affairs, tweeted that the company requested the review of the system \"so that we can continue our work to improve the program.\"

To fully address the board's recommendations, \"we've agreed to respond within 90 days,\" he added.

The company has said cross-check, which applies to Facebook and Instagram, was designed to prevent \"overpolicing,\" or mistakenly removing content thought to be breaking the platform's rules.

The Oversight Board's report said that the cross-check system resulted in users being treated unequally and that it led to delays in taking down content that violated the rules because there were up to five separate checks. Decisions on average took more than five days, it found.

For content posted by American users, the average decision took 12 days, and for Afghanistan and Syria, it was 17 days. In some cases, it took a lot longer: one piece of content waited 222 days - more than seven months - for a decision, the report said, without providing further details.

Among its 32 recommendations, the board said Meta \"should prioritize expression that is important for human rights, including expression which is of special public importance.\"

Human rights defenders, advocates for marginalized communities, public officials and journalists should be given higher priority than others put on the cross-check list because they are business partners, such as big companies, political parties, musicians, celebrities and artists, the report said.

\"If users included due to their commercial importance frequently post violating content, they should no longer benefit from special protection,\" the board said.

Addressing other flaws, the board also urged Meta to remove or hide content while it's being reviewed and said the company should \"radically increase transparency around cross-check and how it operates,\" such as outlining \"clear, public criteria\" on who gets to be on the list.

The board upheld Facebook's decision to ban Trump last year out of concern he incited violence leading to the riot on the U.S. Capitol. But it said the company failed to mention the cross-check system in its request for a ruling. The company has until Jan. 7 to decide whether to let Trump back on.

Clegg said in a blog post that Meta has already been making changes to cross-check, including standardizing it so that it's \"run in a more consistent way,\" opening up the system to content from all 3 billion Facebook users and holding annual reviews to verify its list of elite users and entities.

After widespread criticism that it failed to respond swiftly and effectively to misinformation, hate speech and harmful influence campaigns, Facebook set up the oversight panel as the ultimate referee of thorny content issues it faces. Members include a former Danish prime minister, the former editor-in-chief of British newspaper the Guardian, as well as legal scholars and human rights experts.

Some critics have previously questioned the board's independence and said its narrow content decisions seemed to distract from wider problems within Facebook and concerns about government regulation. (AP)

元要求董事会调查系统去年《华尔街日报》报道后,这是由它的许多精英用户被滥用,他们发布的材料会导致处罚普通人,包括骚扰和煽动暴力。

据报道,Facebook的规则似乎并不适用于一些VIP用户而其他人面临的评论从未发生过违规帖子,据《华尔街日报》的文章,称该系统至少有580万免除用户的2020。

系统——被称为“XCheck”,或反复核对,暴露在Facebook Frances Haugen泄露的文件,前产品经理把告密者捕获全世界的头条披露称,社交媒体在网络安全公司优先利润和镀锌监管机构打击仇恨言论和错误信息。

尼克•克莱格元总统负责全球事务,在推特上,该公司要求系统的审查”,这样我们可以继续我们的工作改善计划。”

完全解决董事会的建议,“我们已同意在90天内作出回应,”他补充道。

公司说再确认,适用于Facebook和Instagram,旨在防止“overpolicing”,或误删除的内容被认为是打破了平台的规则。

监督委员会的报告说,反复核对系统导致用户受到不平等的对待,它导致延迟关闭的内容违反了规则,因为有五个独立的检查。决定平均花了超过5天,它发现。

在美国用户,发布的内容决定了12天,平均为阿富汗和叙利亚,这是17天。在某些情况下,花了更长时间:一块内容等了222天——七个多月的决定,报告称,未提供进一步的细节。

在其32建议,董事会说元“应该优先考虑表达对人权很重要,包括表达的特殊公共重要性。”

人权捍卫者,倡导边缘化社区,公共官员和记者比其他人应给予更多的重视放在反复核对列表,因为他们是业务合作伙伴,如大公司、政党、音乐家、名人和艺术家,报告说。

“如果用户包括由于他们的商业重要性经常发布违反内容,他们应该不再受益于特殊保护,“董事会说。

解决其他缺陷,董事会还敦促元删除或隐藏内容的审查和表示,该公司应该“从根本上增加透明度在反复核对和它如何运作,“概述”明确,公共标准”等谁在名单上。

支持Facebook的董事会决定禁止超过去年的担忧他煽动暴力导致暴乱在美国国会大厦。但它表示,该公司没有提及的反复核对系统请求裁决。公司在1月7日之前决定是否让特朗普。

克莱格在一篇博客文章中说,元已经更改反复核对,包括规范它的“以更一致的方式运行,”开放系统的内容全部30亿Facebook用户和年度审核来验证其精英用户列表和实体。

广泛批评后,迅速、有效地应对错误信息失败,仇恨言论和有害影响活动,Facebook设置监督小组的最终裁判其面临棘手的内容问题。成员包括丹麦前首相,英国报纸《卫报》的前主编,以及法律学者和人权专家。乐动扑克
