YouTube Community Notes
Twitter (now X) also has introduced a community notes feature that helps to ensure the verification of content posted on the platform. Democratizing the community notes feature ensures that the community can check itself with facts and data. On Twitter, the community notes usually provide links to other resources or data to verify their counter-claims.
Some users have reported receiving invitations to the YouTube community notes feature. Users will be able to additional context to videos that might no longer be correct or might be spreading misinformation.
The notes can include timestamps and links. Users can tap to expand the sheet. After submission, a note is reviewed and rated by others. If others find the note useful then it may be published under the video to provide additional context.
