[VERGE] X’s Community Notes feature will now include videos

What’s the point of community notes anymore? The whole site is rampant with disinformation. Notes basically act as a pinned dunk now.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Now, approved Community Notes will automatically show up every time a flagged video is posted or reshared.

According to a post on the tool’s X account, a select group of Community Notes power users, known as “Top Writers” (if you have to ask what that is, you’re probably not a part of the club), can now submit added context to potentially misleading video content.

Critics such as MediaWise director Alex Mahadevan have called Community Notes “lackluster” when it comes to combating bad information.

Upon submission, Community Notes are rated for accuracy by other users in the volunteer moderation program.

According to X’s guidelines, once a Community Note is rated as helpful by enough users, it shows directly on the post.

Last year, after firing employees in charge of moderation and content quality on the platform, the Musk-owned platform launched the Community Notes feature (formerly known as Birdwatch) widely and has since expanded it to more countries beyond the US, recently claiming it will graduate to “global visibility” soon.
