X has reported a doubling of users for its Community Notes feature, now boasting 1 million contributors across 200 countries. CEO Linda Yaccarino presented this at the Possible Miami conference, arguing it empowers users to combat misinformation. However, studies reveal that the tool struggles with political falsehoods. Additionally, ad sales have significantly dropped post-Elon Musk's acquisition due to brand safety worries. Despite this, Yaccarino remains optimistic about Musk's leadership, referring to him as a visionary, while X attempts to restore advertiser confidence through incentives.
"It's retraining us to respect the truth," she said.
Yaccarino emphasized that this scale gives X a "megaphone" for truth, while legacy media is left "whispering."
Community Notes is struggling to provide a meaningful check on misinformation.
The man is the ultimate visionary of our time," she said at Possible.
