Footnotes, TikTok’s crowdsourced fact-checks, launches in the US
All U.S. TikTok users are able to view the notes that have been rated as helpful and submit their own ratings in return.
TikTok on Wednesday announced the public launch of Footnotes, a crowdsourced fact-checking system similar to X and Meta’s Community Notes feature. The technology will initially roll out to U.S. users as a pilot program, allowing contributors to both write and rate Footnotes on TikTok videos.
