‘We want to do it right this time,’ Meta says as it starts testing Community Notes

What you need to know

• Meta seems to be testing out Community Notes for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
• With this, it looks to create a more unbiased space for people to share varied perspectives on their platform.
• As this feature is still being tested, it won’t show up on the apps as yet.

Meta seems to be taking varied perspectives seriously as it announced today (Mar. 13) that it has begun testing out Community Notes, similar to what X does on its platform.

With this feature, users would add more context about a certain topic as contributors on that platform. This will replace the now active third-party fact-checking feature on all of its apps. However, like X, users would first have to sign up to be contributors for this feature. These contributors will be allowed to write and rate notes on content across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
