Community Notes: a collaborative way to add helpful context to posts and keep people better informed
Community Notes aims to create a better-informed world, by empowering people on X to collaboratively add helpful notes to posts that might be misleading.
Contributors write and rate notes
Contributors are people on X, just like you, who sign up to write and rate notes. The more people that participate, the better the program becomes.
Only notes rated helpful by people from diverse perspectives appear on posts
Community Notes doesn't work by majority rules. To identify notes that are helpful to a wide range of people, notes require agreement between contributors who have sometimes disagreed in their past ratings. This helps prevent one-sided ratings.

X doesn’t choose what shows up, the people do
X doesn’t write, rate or moderate notes (unless they break X's Rules.) We believe giving people a voice to make these choices together is a fair and effective way to add information that helps people stay better informed.
Open-source and transparent
It’s important for people to understand how Community Notes works, and to be able to help shape it. The program is built on transparency: all contributions are published daily, and our ranking algorithm can be inspected by anyone. Learn more how it works under the hood.
