The notes of the X community put the red face to Trump (and now Musk wants to change them)

In X the moderation of content is at the mercy of the so -called community notesby virtue of which the users of the social network themselves have the power to correct the contents that make their way on this platform. However, in recent days these community notes have been used by X users to deny Donald Trump’s president and that has sat down to Elon Musk, who now prepares to introduce changes in the verification system platform data.

A few days ago the new White House tenant lasted harshly against Volodimir Zelenski, president of Ukrainehe accused him of having a low support in the surveys in the country he leads and even reached the extreme of qualifying him as a dictator«. The harsh accusations expressed by Trump against Zelenski were repeatedly denied by X users based on the so -called community notes. And in them the users of the social network of Elon Musk clarified, for example, that according to a recent survey of the Institute of Sociology of kyiv (Kiis), Zelenski enjoys an approval index of 57% in Ukraine, thus standing above the own president of the United States.

In X the community notes allow users to review publications that may contain potentially false information and add short comments and links. After taking control of Twitter (now X) in October 2022, Elon Musk decided to put a good number of members of the social network content moderation and yield data to the data to the data to the data to the data to the data to the data to the data to the own users of platform 2.0.

It should be noted that, although during the electoral campaign for the latest presidential elections in the United States Musk disseminated a whole pastel of Bulos through X, His posts were rarely corrected by the community.

Musk says that governments and traditional media are misuse of the notes of the community of X

The fact that X users have decided to rely on the community’s notes to deny Trump has led Musk to question the credibility of the verification system that he himself established on this platform (and to which he filled with Loas in the past). In a post recently posted in X The South African laments governments and traditional media are misuse of the social network community. And he says he is working to solve the problem (although he does not clarify exactly how).

In relation to the last and hard clash of accusations between Trump and Zelenski, Musk has warned that “it should be completely obvious that a survey controlled by the president of Ukraine himself about his popularity as a leader is not credible”. According to Trump, the Ukrainian people despise Zelenski because they refuse to call elections.

The notes of the X community are only visible to the general public if a sufficient number of users registered in the social network are pronounced in favor of the accuracy of its content. Musk has broken, however, repeatedly this basic principle in recent times and in its publications has shared, for example, community notes that did not have the required number of votes in favor to be visible to all Users. And instead, a community note about astronauts of the International Space Station, which Musk was responsible for refuting publicly, is no longer visible.

Nonetheless, Goal prepares to introduce its own version of the notes of the community that now Elon Musk Reniega now. Allende the seas any user will have in the future the power to make corrections in the posts published on Facebook and Instagram.
