"On Thursday, Meta’s Oversight Board, a quasi-independent body that reviews the social media giant’s moderation practices, ruled that “Community Notes” are not a proper substitute for its fact-checking program.
In a new “policy advisory opinion,” the Board expressed concerns about how effective Community Notes would be in a litany of circumstances, “including in repressive human rights regimes, in particular electoral contexts and in ongoing crisis and conflict situations.” Overall, the Board warned that expanding Community Notes outside the U.S. could “pose significant human rights risks and contribute to tangible harms that Meta has a responsibility to avoid or remedy.”
In January 2025, Meta announced it was getting rid of its fact-checking program in the U.S. Launched a decade ago, the program relied on a network of third-party fact-checkers to verify content and flag disinformation. These partnerships with news and civil society organizations have been essential to the platform’s moderation practices on Meta, Instagram, and Threads."

Meta's expanding Community Notes globally, but they're *only* asking the Oversight Board for advice on which countries to *omit*.
Not, you know, whether crowd-sourced fact-checking is actually working (only 6% of notes published in the US so far). Seems their priorities are... unique. What could possibly go wrong?

University of Washington: Community Notes help reduce the virality of false information on X, study finds. “A University of Washington-led study of X found that posts with Community Notes attached were less prone to going viral and got less engagement. After getting a Community Note, on average, reposts dropped 46% and likes dropped 44%. “

Meta's opening up Community Notes to *everyone* for rating & requesting, plus notifications if posts you've engaged with get a note. Is this genuinely helpful for battling misinformation, or just more digital noise? 🤔 #Meta #CommunityNotes #SocialMedia #ContentModeration #TechNews

Meta's boosting its Community Notes, now alerting users about corrected posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. You can even request or rate notes. Because who needs 'truth' when you have a 'community consensus,' right? What's your trust level in crowd-sourced fact-checks? #Meta #CommunityNotes #FactChecking #SocialMedia #TechNews

"Over four months, I’ve drafted 65 notes debunking conspiracy theories on topics ranging from airplane crashes to Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I’ve tried to flag fake artificial intelligence-generated video clips, viral hoax security threats and false reports about an ICE partnership with DoorDash.
Only three of them got published, all related to July’s Texas floods. That’s an overall success rate of less than 5 percent. My proposed notes were on topics other news outlets — including Snopes, NewsGuard and Bloomberg News — had decided were worth publishing their own fact checks about.
Zuckerberg fired professional fact-checkers, leaving users to fight falsehoods with community notes. As the main line of defense against hoaxes and deliberate liars exploiting our attention, community notes appear — so far — nowhere near up to the task.
Feeds filled with inaccurate information matter for the 54 percent of American adults who, according to Pew Research Center, get news from social media."

The top Community Notes contributor is...an antivirus startup?

Curious tale about the #CommunityNotes #FactChecking system on X/Twitter, which arose out of some analysis Alexios, Zara and myself are doing on CN. It seems like one antivirus company got so frustrated with the lack of response from the X about scam posts that they decided to pump their notifications through as CNs so people could be alerted about harmful content that way

Community Notes Can’t Save Social Media From Itself
#DataJournalism on the X/Twitter #CommunityNotes data suggests
- CN are getting faster, but are still slow (median is +14 hours after original post)
- A smaller % of notes are being published (personally, not sure that is bad if overall submission number is up)
- the content for notes overwhelming comes from traditional media, wikipedia and fact-checkers
