Oddbean new post about login | logout They are 100% fact checking.
Why aren't they called "fact-checking" then? Is it because they come from the right now and not from the left?
They were called community notes when they started the feature in 2021. Doesn’t matter which side it’s coming from or what they call it, it’s fact checking and censorship.
You have good opinions.
Probably some bad ones too. 😂
How is it censorship? The tweet is still there.
Replies and quote tweets already exist and that’s where discussion and debate best take place. Community notes are a totally subjective “mob rule” approach to determine what context and additional information is most relevant for other users to see. They are warning labels with no real purpose except to make a bunch of Karens feel powerful.
I feel they are useful especially with all the disinformation on X . I have seen mob rule on replies and quote tweets. Everyone should do their own research but there are so many koolaid drinkers on X.
It is fact checking, but is it censorship? The OP isn't removed when it gets a community note. Some posts from Elon Musk have community notes, but they are still visible (obviously).
I believe they think any level of correction is “censorship” which is moronic as there’s some level of right or wrong. You can tell me that I live at Santa Maria drive 1235 if I say that’s not where I live then me correcting you isn’t censorship. It’s like with liberals and everything can be true nonsense. I don’t give af about your “truth” if you’re giving me false information, you’re just wrong not censored
