Facebook’s Oversight Board offered strong words in a quarterly report released Thursday that called out the company for not revealing information about its new XCheck program for VIP users, designed to better protect celebrities, journalists, and human rights activists.
The board, developed in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol protest that led to Facebook’s ban on then-President Donald Trump, condemned the social media provider for its failure to disclose the new development when it was asked to investigate whether the former president could return to the platform.
