TikTok is testing a new feature called 'Footnotes' in the U.S. that allows users to add contextual information to videos. This system works through a bridge-based ranking, where users can vote on the helpfulness of these annotations. Footnotes are designed to complement TikTok's existing fact-checking measures rather than replace them, unlike Meta's Community Notes. The new feature aims to provide additional insights, particularly on complex topics, to improve content reliability and address misinformation issues on the platform.
TikTok is introducing a new Footnotes feature that enhances video context, allowing users to add insights based on a consensus-driven voting system.
The Footnotes feature aims to improve content reliability by enabling users to provide context that can be rated for helpfulness, enhancing understanding.
Unlike Meta's Community Notes, TikTok's Footnotes won't replace fact-checking methods but complement existing tools to help users understand video content.
This feature will allow users to share expertise and context especially where videos discuss complex topics or potentially misleading information.
