Meta Introduces Community Notes Feature on Threads

Meta is set to replace its professional fact-checking program with a community-driven feature called Community Notes, similar to the one on X (formerly Twitter). The new feature will allow users to anonymously submit notes on posts, which may be displayed if rated helpful by others. Screenshots shared by developer Alessandro Paluzzi illustrate how users can access this feature through a menu on individual posts in Threads. Additionally, Meta is shifting its stance on political content, allowing users to adjust their exposure to such posts. While Community Notes aims to engage users in content moderation, questions remain about its effectiveness in resolving misinformation. The rollout is expected to begin in the U.S. over the coming months, with plans for further enhancements throughout the year.
