Summary
Meta is launching its Community Notes feature in the U.S. on March 18, a new approach to fact-checking for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. This crowdsourced initiative draws inspiration from a similar program by Twitter, as Meta seeks to improve upon its previous reliance on third-party fact-checkers, which faced criticism for biases and misapplications. The Community Notes system allows users to contribute and rate fact-checks, promoting a balanced evaluation of information by ensuring consensus among contributors before a note is displayed. Meta intends to refine this feature domestically before considering international rollout, particularly amid scrutiny from the European Commission.
