PARIS, Sept 2 — Community notes is the moderation tool that Elon Musk has promoted as the way for Twitter users to police the platform now called X for misinformation, but it has disappointed experts and irritated politicians over corrections judged abusive.Announced early in 2021 — two years before Musk bought the platform — under the name Birdwatch, the feature initially allowed volunteers in the United States to signal questionable posts and provide notes with context.
The proposed notes are then submitted to other contributors. Those that get enough votes as being helpful may then be selected by an algorithm to be posted publicly. But Alex Mahadevan, the programme director for the Poytner Institute’s MediaWise initiative promoting digital literacy, noted that the flaw in the algorithm is that for posts to be published they need to obtain a consensus across ideological divides.“That does not work anymore because 100 people on the left and 100 people on the right are not going to agree that vaccines are effective.”
For Musk, community notes is an economical method to moderate content, including for political advertising which has recently been re-authorised on the platform.
