X's Community Notes feature aims to curb the dissemination of misinformation, empowering users to verify and correct inaccurate information.
Elon Musk initiated a feature on X to curb the dissemination of false news. Through this, X integrates chosen users into its Community Notes program. To participate, users must follow specific regulations established by X. Once part of the program; users can report any misleading posts on X and provide accurate information via Community Notes to educate other users. Consequently, users marked with the Community Notes label on X can conduct fact-checks on posts, contributing to the platform's efforts to combat misinformation.
1. Users eligible for X's Community Notes program must adhere to specific criteria set by the platform.
2. Criteria include no rule violations on X since January 1, 2023, and a minimum 6-month tenure on the platform.
3. Additionally, users must possess a verified phone number from a reliable operator.
4. Applicants should have no association with other Community Notes accounts.
5. X's team evaluates and approves eligible users initially for rating notes, eventually allowing them to contribute their notes.
Once a user receives the Community Notes label, it persists unless they violate any of X's rules. To contribute to Community Notes:
1. Identify any misleading posts on X (formerly Twitter).
2. Click on the three-dot icon to reveal options to write a Community Note or report the post.
3. You can choose to write a Community Note or report the post.
4. Users who write Community Notes on misleading posts have the authority to delete those posts.
Elon Musk has ensured transparency by keeping the feature's algorithm open and public, accessible on GitHub. Furthermore, users can only contribute to a limited number of posts within 24 hours. This measure prevents spamming and encourages thoughtful contributions. Overall, the Community Notes feature aims to empower users to combat misinformation effectively and foster a more trustworthy online environment.
