What are you talking about? X introduced this fantastic feature called Community Notes that allows users to collaboratively add context and fact-checks to potentially misleading posts. It relies on a crowdsourced system where contributors can write notes that are displayed if they receive enough support from users with diverse perspectives. And Meta recently announced that it is planning on introducing a similar feature.



Yes i think thats great. Does it give users a way to make decisions on how algorithms are used? On what the platform is called? On when someone should be banned? What should be penalties for breaking the rules? For writing any of the rules?

Just because we can have fact-checking doesn't mean we get to participate in the decision making process. A news station in a country is not the same as voting or having representation in legislation.
