What is a ‘Community Note’ on Twitter?

  • An attempt by Twitter to create an unbiased ‘fact-checking’ system that includes people of differing viewpoints.
  • Unlike the old COVID/other ‘Misinformation’ notifications under the old leadership, people can provide feedback about whether or not a ‘Community Note’ is helpful or not.
  • The original tweet in question will NOT be hidden/deleted by Twitter with Community Notes, either.
  • Actually fact-checks major media outlets and other prominent figures that previous leadership simply ignored; something that irritates the ‘Old Blue Checks’.
  • Along with fact-checking, Community Notes may also provide additional context to a tweet, image, meme, etc, that gains somewhat sizable attention.
