The microblogging service's crowdsourced fact-checking tool, Twitter Community Notes, is now available to all users worldwide. The function was once referred to as "Birdwatch," and it was originally made available in January of last year. The tool employs a community-driven method to assist resolve false information on Twitter and is intended to stop the spread of fake news on the social network. It was initially introduced in the US before being extended to Brazil, Spain, and the Philippines. The social networking platform is now operational everywhere.
On its official Twitter account, the business posted a message announcing the function. On Android, iOS, and the web version, it was said that the capability is available to all users worldwide. As a result, Twitter users from all around the world may now view and mark community notes as useful. All users of the company's website get access to the notes that have been deemed as useful as of late.
Twitter users who wish to contribute notes or have a bigger influence can now sign up to join Community Notes. The microblogging platform also announced that it will grow its contributor base nation-by-nation. After registering, users will first be allowed to rate notes before finally being granted access to create their own. Only notes that have been flagged as useful will appear beneath tweets.
Users who wish to join Community Notes must have an account that is at least six months old and not currently subject to a notification that they have violated Twitter's terms of service. Additionally, they must have a confirmed phone number that is separate from any other Community Notes-connected accounts, according to the business.
Twitter first made a number of updates to its Birdwatch community fact-checking programme in September, including a new onboarding procedure for participants to properly compose and evaluate remarks.
The Impact Score of new contributors starts at zero and is first enhanced by assessing the helpfulness of other remarks. Users will be able to write notes on their own after the Impact Score reaches five, but if they repeatedly write Not Helpful remarks, they will be prohibited from doing so.
.According to the study, Twitter allegedly increased the prominence of notes on tweets at the time to maximise the apparent good impact Birdwatch (now known as Community Notes) has had on the neighbourhood.
