This information was provided in a report by the technical website The Verge.

Guy Rojen, vice president of Facebook's Integrity Department, wrote in a blog post that when someone posted a content that gets repeatedly rating, the news feed of the group will be shown at a global level. Before breaking any group or taking action against the group, the content of its admin and group operator's content policy will be reviewed.
