Neymar protected by Facebook system after he posted nude pics of a woman: Report

The post by Neymar was seen by 56 million Facebook and Instagram users before it was removed.

As per a report by Wall Street Journal, a Facebook programme called ‘Xcheck’ in 2019 allowed PSG striker Neymar to post nude photos of a woman who accused him of rape before it pulled down the content after some time.

Notably, the post was seen by 56 million Facebook and Instagram users before it was removed.

Facebook reportedly exempted millions of high-profile users, including celebrities, politicians, sportspersons, and journalists from some or all of its community standards, apparently contradicting the social network's public statements that its rules apply to everyone.
