Well, this isn’t true anymore. There was a birdwatch note on one of Elons tweets that got removed. And it wasn’t removed by the people, because in the Birdwatch UI it still said “this note was voted helpful and is showing on the tweet”.
Here’s a picture of the note before it was removed: https://twitter.com/goldman/status/1588576046743687170?s=46&t=AwU-i2h4hDqClubP8G4H_w https://twitter.com/goldman/status/1588576046743687170?s=46&...
I couldn’t find the picture of the Birdwatch UI showing it’s still helpful and showing on the tweet when it wasn’t :( If anyone really wants it, reply and I’ll look more, I probably have it in my likes
- drdrey 4y agoThe thread you linked to does in fact explain that it is behaving as expected, powered by Birdwatch contributors
- puyoxyz 4y agoThere was like a few hours where it showed up as Helpful and showing on the tweet on Birdwatch (I saw like two or three separate screenshots of it) but not showing on the actual tweet, so I’m not entirely convinced
