Overview

• Meta is testing controls that let any user request a Community Note on a post or rate an existing note’s helpfulness.
• People will be notified when posts they interacted with on Facebook, Instagram or Threads receive a Community Note.
• Meta’s Guy Rosen says more than 70,000 contributors have written over 15,000 notes, with roughly 6% published so far.
• Community Notes replaced the company’s U.S. third-party fact-checking in April, and writing notes still requires an application.
• Researchers and advocates warn the model can be slow or unseen, citing CDT’s finding that over 70% of accurate election notes were never shown to users and noting similar critiques of X’s program.
