Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has launched a new feature called ‘Community Notes’ that allows users to fact-check posts and add notes to provide context or correct misinformation. This crowdsourcing approach aims to combat the spread of false information on the platform. Users with a high rating from previous fact-checking contributions can write notes on posts they believe contain misinformation. These notes will be visible to other users, providing additional context and fact-checking. Meta hopes this feature will empower users to identify and counter misinformation while promoting more informed online conversations. However, concerns have been raised about the potential for abuse or biased fact-checking. Meta plans to monitor the feature closely and implement safeguards to maintain accuracy and objectivity.
