Description

Join Meta Oversight Board members Jamal Greene and Julie Owono for a first look at the Board's new Policy Advisory Opinion on Meta's "cross-check program." This practice, in which Meta conducts a secondary review of proposed enforcement actions against high-profile and influential accounts, has been criticized for giving politicians and celebrities preferential treatment in content moderation. This session will introduce the PAO and discuss the Board's findings and recommendations and reflect on the experience of the Oversight Board as an accountability mechanism.
