'Cross-check' system: Meta's human review for VIP accounts
Meta's 'cross-check' program routes content from high-profile accounts for human review.
PM Modi's Facebook Reel, posted July 23, was briefly removed and restored the same day; Meta apologized for the error.
MeitY secretary S Krishnan said Meta agreed to send senior leadership to New Delhi within 7-10 days to explain.
Meta indicated to the government it established 'new protocols' for prominent accounts as of July 28, but has not publicly confirmed details.
Information about Meta's moderation of VVIP accounts comes from transparency center, Oversight Board rulings, and Frances Haugen's disclosures.
