Crowdsourced fact-checking feature expands across Twitter/X.

Origin & Impact

Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch) became Twitter’s primary misinformation countermeasure in 2023, allowing users to add context to misleading tweets. While praised for occasionally fact-checking Musk himself, critics noted delays in flagging viral misinformation and potential for coordinated manipulation. The feature represented Musk’s preference for community moderation over professional fact-checkers.
