TikTok is adding Footnotes, its take on Community Notes


TikTok is adding “Footnotes,” a Community Notes-like feature that will allow contributors to add “more context” to videos on the platform.

“Footnotes offers a new opportunity for people to share their expertise and add an additional layer of context to the discussion using a consensus-driven approach,” TikTok’s head of operations and trust and safety Adam Presser wrote in a blog post. However unlike Meta, which recently began publishing Community Notes on its apps, TikTok’s update isn’t coming with a change to its moderation policies or its fact-checking partnerships. Reports indicate that the White House favors a deal involving TikTok’s existing US investors, though it’s unclear how Trump’s tariffs on China have affected the negotiations.
