No average person fact-checks context. You did not answer my question; did you trust these community notes before? Do you know how many were false without you

No average person fact-checks context. You did not answer my question; did you trust these community notes before? Do you know how many were false without you realizing? Especially if you agreed with them?
People could continually fact check tweets without false notes masquerading as “context”, that is why I said Twitter could just use the same algorithm for sorting replies in the first place.
Community notes are not more trustworthy than tweets, but they are painted to be. This makes them a valuable target for misinformation campaigns.
- hereme888 3y agoCommunity Notes are not about whether you trust them or not. They're just notes, usually with links to contrary/correcting evidence. I can vote to agree after reviewing the evidence, or disagree and specify why. You know there's AI and algorithms that moderate these things? You can't just go crazy and doing some community note disinformation campaign all over the place. Fact-checking companies don't even allow for disagreement.
- anileated 3y agoYou are digging the hole deeper. If they are “just notes” then they should not be called “context” and be just tweets. Galactic brain: use your “AI” to prioritize tweets with evidence. > You can't just go crazy and doing some community note disinformation campaign all over the place You know, I literally just showed how it’s done.
