Meta adds new features to Community Notes fact checks, including alerts for corrected posts


Now, users will be notified when they've interacted with a post on Facebook, Instagram, or Threads that receives a Community Note. Plus, anyone can now request a note or rate a note if it's been helpful to them.

Like X’s program, Community Notes are added to a post when different users who typically share opposing viewpoints reach consensus, even if that spans their current ideological lines, political or otherwise. The organization also questioned whether this type of system would work well in highly visual environments like Instagram and Reels, or how well it could penetrate private silos on Facebook, like Groups. It suggested that Meta should add measurements that show how many people see the corrected information and make Notes data available publicly for increased transparency.
