Elon Musk Plans Overhaul of Fact-Checking Tool on X Following Criticism

Musk claims the 'Community Notes' feature has been exploited by governments and media, sparking debates over its role in moderating misinformation.

Elon Musk announced plans to 'repair' the Community Notes feature on X, a tool designed to add context to potentially misleading posts.
Musk criticized governments and traditional media for allegedly misusing the feature, leading to his decision to reform it.
The announcement comes as Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump face backlash for comments about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, echoing Russian narratives.
Community Notes, introduced after Musk acquired X in 2022, replaced traditional moderation methods on the platform.
This move follows broader shifts in social media moderation, including Meta's recent decision to end its fact-checking program in the United States.
