TikTok's Community Notes era starts today


TikTok is beginning to roll out Footnotes, its version of Community Notes as almost 80,000 have signed up to contribute.

The company also points out that Footnotes will be subject to the same content moderation standards as the rest of its platform, and that people can report notes that might break its rules. "We picked the US market because it's sufficiently large that it has a content ecosystem that can support this kind of a test," TikTok's head of integrity and authenticity product, Erica Ruzic, said during a press event. President Donald Trump has delayed a potential ban three times since taking office in January as a long long-promised "deal" to create a US-owned TikTok entity has yet to materialize.
