The goal begins testing with “Community Notes” on Facebook and Instagram after finishing moderation economy

The goal begins on Tuesday, 18 years old, “Notes Community” tests on Facebook, Instagram and Threads in the United States. The feature, similar to what is already found in X (Twitter), will allow users to add context to publications, with the aim of combating the platform information. The initiative represents the end of the company’s partnership with independent facts of the facts.

Initial tests will be limited to a group of up to 200,000 people who will be able to write and evaluate notes on common content on social networks. Implementation will be gradual, and at first, notes will not be visible to all users. According to the goal, the expansion of a broader audience depends on the effectiveness of the system and the participation of society.

Through the new model, any user can be over 18 years old and active at least six months of contribution, provided that he has a registered phone number or is used to verify two factors. The observations will have 500 letters and you will need to include a link for an proof. In addition, the assessments will be made unknown, in order to prevent any attacks on the author.

Initially, “community notes” will be available in six languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, French and Portuguese. The company plans to expand the supplier to other countries in the future, but there is no expected version outside the United States. Until then, partnership with agencies verification facts will remain active in other markets, including Brazil.

The goal states that the system will be cooperative and that there will be no direct intervention from the company in choosing the notes offered. Contributions will not be published unless a variety of users agree to provide a related context. If there is a big dispute, the degree will not be included in the post until a wider consensus is reached.

The implementation of “community notes” occurs in the context of changing the targeted strategy in moderate content. Since 2016, the company has maintained partnerships with agencies verification facts to assess jobs that are misleading. However, the CEO of the goal, Mark Zuckerberg, called for a more open -minded approach to freedom of expression, in line with the American political role after Donald Trump’s re -election in late 2024.

Zuckerberg has already criticized the intervention of governments in moderate content, and even stated that Latin American countries are working on “secret courts” to monitor social networks. The decision to replace independent auditors with a collective moderation system strengthen this change in the company’s position.

Unlike the previous truth tests, “community notes” will not restrict access to posts that receive corrections or context. The goal argues that this model is less vulnerable to the campaigns regulating moderation and believes it can reach a greater range of the previous program.

The technology used in the tool depends on the open source of the X, which was created in 2021. The algorithm decomposes the user’s behavior patterns and seeks to ensure that the assessments reflect a variety of opinions. The goal intends to improve this system because it receives notes from the participants and notes its operation in practice.
