Honestly not a bad idea. The community notes are easier to trust and typically more accurate anyway.
Better than partners certified by the International Fact-Checking Network?
I don’t know what the “International Fact-Checking Network” is and I doubt most Facebook users do. The type of person using Facebook is going to likely trust notes written by their peers more than things that come from “on high” (meaning Facebook themselves)
is going to likely trust notes written by their peers
How is that a good thing if a lot of these notes take content out of context or are just plain wrong, echoed by those who trust misinformation?
I suppose I’m just seeing how even Twitter has had success with community notes, and figured it would be the same on Facebook. But it’s easy to forget just how… out there Facebook is these days.
Community Notes are good, but they’re never a complete replacement for paid work. And my second paragraph is based on some notable incidents on X; it’s not just “oh it’s only bad because it’s on Facebook”.
Yeah, and with the added context of other things Meta has done over the past few days, we can plainly see what this is about.
