Posts from politicians, celebrities or business partners of Facebook and Instagram's parent company Meta are passed through a special VIP channel known as cross-check, which gives them extra leeway to break the company's rules.

The video was a clear breach of Meta's content policies, which forbid many relatively mild forms of nudity. Yet, according to The Guardian, it was left online for over a day and received 56 million views before it was taken down.The reason for the delay? Neymar, who later announced a business deal with Meta to promote Facebook Gaming, was on the list for cross-check, which was struggling to deal with a backlog at the time.

The system has caused"real harm", Oversight Board director Thomas Hughes told Sky News. Yet he fell short of calling for the system to be disbanded, saying"you do need to have some kind of secondary review process". The report says that Meta prefers under-enforcing its rules, to avoid creating a"perception of censorship" or stirring up"public controversy" for commercial partners, especially ones who can create trouble for senior Meta executives.

"They won't implement them all, but given the implementation rate to date, I think they will implement the majority," said Mr Hughes."The board thinks these recommendations are achievable." "This limited disclosure impairs the board's ability to carry out its mandated oversight responsibilities," the board complained in its report.
