X goals to fight rampant misinformation on the platform with new function

If you happen to’re like me and spend a variety of time scrolling X (previously Twitter), you will doubtless come throughout a variety of posts which have been hit with a Group Notice. The difficulty with Group Notes is that generally a put up with false data in it may be up for hours, with hundreds of thousands of individuals seeing it, earlier than a Group Notice can get added to it.

To handle this, X has introduced Lightning Notes, which can add Group Notes to posts sooner than ever earlier than. In a put up on X, the Group Notes account stated the next:

X

Group Notes have been first launched on X in 2022. The system depends on customers to fact-check or add context to posts on its social media platform, which sees a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of lively customers each day posting and viewing posts. When a person contributes to a Group Notice, they’re required to quote any sources they obtained their data from. Then different customers fee the helpfulness of the word, and if its sourced correctly and proper, it will get added to the put up. Creators who get their posts hit with a Group Notice do not obtain any income from it.

X says that posts hit with Group Notes scale back the sharing of a put up by roughly 60 p.c, and will increase the deletion of posts by roughly 80 p.c.

As somebody who browses X each day, I’ve seen the worth of Group Notes and suppose it is a useful system for probably the most half. Hopefully, this new Lightning Notes program will assist it, whereas nonetheless guaranteeing the notes are correct and sourced correctly, however solely time will inform.
