Continuing to evolve the fact-checking service that launched as Twitter's Birdwatch, X has announced that Community Notes can now be requested to clarify problematic posts spreading on Elon Musk's platform.
X's Community Notes account confirmed late Thursday that, due to "popular demand," X had launched a pilot test on the web-based version of the platform. The test is active now and the same functionality will be "coming soon" to Android and iOS, the Community Notes account said.
Through the current web-based pilot, if you're an eligible user, you can click on the "•••" menu on any X post on the web and request fact-checking from one of Community Notes' top contributors, X explained. If X receives five or more requests within 24 hours of the post going live, a Community Note will be added.
