Does crowdsourced fact-checking work? Experts are skeptical of Meta's plan - Poynter
Briefly

Joel Kaplan emphasized, 'We've seen this approach work on X - where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context.' He believes this participatory model offers a broader array of perspectives which can provide helpful context for users.
Jennifer Allen cautioned, 'Just because in the past, we've seen some success in Community Notes, that doesn't necessarily mean that any system that Facebook happens to roll out is going to be successful.' Her comment highlights skepticism regarding the assumption that one successful model can be replicated without adaptation.
Experts are divided on the effectiveness of crowdsourced fact-checking, with Allen noting, 'The research has not totally caught up with the current state of X.' This underscores the need for a deeper understanding of how these models operate, especially considering recent changes in moderation policies.
