If you happen to’re like me and spend loads of time scrolling X (previously Twitter), you will doubtless come throughout loads of posts which have been hit with a Group Word. The problem with Group Notes is that typically a publish with false info in it may be up for hours, with hundreds of thousands of individuals seeing it, earlier than a Group Word can get added to it.

To handle this, X has introduced Lightning Notes, which is able to add Group Notes to posts sooner than ever earlier than. In a publish on X, the Group Notes account mentioned the next:

Group Notes had been first launched on X in 2022. The system depends on customers to fact-check or add context to posts on its social media platform, which sees a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of lively customers each day posting and viewing posts.

Then different customers charge the helpfulness of the observe, and if its sourced correctly and proper, it will get added to the publish. Creators who get their posts hit with a Group Word do not obtain any income from it.

X says that posts hit with Group Notes scale back the sharing of a publish by roughly 60 p.c, and will increase the deletion of posts by roughly 80 p.c.

Hopefully, this new Lightning Notes program will assist it, whereas nonetheless guaranteeing the notes are correct and sourced correctly, however solely time will inform.
