'We want to do it right this time,' Meta says as it starts testing Community Notes

Community posts will now replace Meta's fact-checking feature.

"Around 200,000 potential contributors in the US have signed up so far across all three apps, and the waitlist remains open for those who wish to take part in the program," Meta explained in a press release. As users start contributing, Meta says the author's names will remain anonymous to protect their privacy and show up as "People added a community note" under the said image/topic. "No matter how many contributors agree on a note, it won’t be published unless people who normally disagree decide that it provides helpful context," the presser explained.
