In most newspapers there has been a section for letters to the editor. Those sections are moderated by editors. That is the reference, not some situation of random readers somehow publishing material, by posing as journalists on the newspaper's staff.

An updated version of that is the comments section for online stories.

Facebook etc already pays large amounts for their moderation army: https://www.wired.com/2014/10/content-moderation/ (unclear if the OP knew this or was ignoring it for some reason).

XCheck isn't really about content moderation, it is about special security for specific people and how that interacts with posting.

The article you linked doesn't say how much fb pays for their moderation. It doesn't say how many people are in their "moderation army". Nor does it say anything current. That article was written 8 years ago.

According to the description, xcheck is all about content moderation - it chooses when not to moderate content.

Facebook pays a _very_ tiny amounts for their moderation team, compared to the number of users.

XCheck is all about content moderation, in particular about saving work (ie money) on content moderation.
