Meta is set to launch Community Notes, modeled after X's rating system, starting March 18, 2023. This program will replace Meta's existing fact-checking process, which has faced criticism for bias. With around 200,000 interested contributors, Meta will gradually admit users to participate, emphasizing that notes won't be published unless there is consensus across diverse viewpoints. Each note must be concise, limited to 500 characters, and include a supporting link. Initially, author names will be omitted to focus on content quality rather than identity.
"When we launched the fact checking program in 2016, we were clear that we didn't want to be the arbiters of truth and believed that turning to expert fact checking organizations was the best solution available... Experts, like everyone else, have their own political biases and perspectives."
"It's also using X's open-source algorithm for its rating system, allowing contributors to write and rate notes, which won't be published unless contributors with a range of viewpoints broadly agree on them."
