A Graphic Hamas Video Donald Trump Jr. Shared on X Is Actually Real, Research Confirms

The WIRED article discusses the failures of X's user-generated fact-checking system called Community Notes. The system was intended to combat disinformation on the platform, but it has been found to be flawed. This is highlighted by a recent incident involving Donald Trump Jr. sharing a video on X that purported to show Hamas fighters murdering Israeli citizens. Community Notes appended a message stating that the video was old and not from Israel, but independent analysis has verified that the video is real and was recorded during the attack. This demonstrates how Community Notes is struggling to function as intended and may contribute to the spread of disinformation rather than correcting it.
