X's Community Notes, a crowdsourced fact-checking program was designed to combat disinformation on X (formerly Twitter). While the program has gained attention from Elon Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino as a tool to address the influx of disinformation during the Israel-Hamas conflict, it seems to be facing various issues. The investigation revealed concerns about manipulation, lack of transparency, in-fighting, and potential vulnerability to coordinated manipulation by outside groups. Contributors claim that the program is slow, prone to manipulation, and may even worsen disinformation. It is also unclear how Community Notes contributors are chosen and whether there is any moderation. Overall, the article suggests that Community Notes may not be an effective solution for combating disinformation on the X platform.

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.

Yesterday, X (formerly Twitter) Trust and Safety team announced measures to combat disinformation about the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, X owner Elon Musk continued to spread disinformation on the platform, engaging with a known QAnon promoter and promoting an $8/month feature. The platform's Trust and Safety team has been leaderless since June. Musk's focus on engagement has led to financial incentives for posting engaging content, even if it's untrue, while disinformation about the conflict persists on the platform. Despite efforts, the virulent spread of disinformation remains a pressing concern, often perpetuated by verified accounts.

After Hurricane Helene, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones shared debunked claims on X about the government controlling the weather. These reinstated users, including Laura Loomer, Mike Lindell, and Rogan O'Handley, spread disinformation and conspiracy theories on X. Since Elon Musk bought the platform, more users have been reinstated and their posts have gained significant traction, often spreading false information about immigration, race, natural disasters, and elections. Musk plays a role in amplifying these posts to his millions of followers. The power and influence of these reinstated accounts on X have raised concerns about the platform being overrun with false narratives and hateful content.

This initiative received mixed reactions, with notable figures like Elon Musk commenting on the change.
