A new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate reveals that X's Community Notes feature is ineffective in combating misinformation about the U.S. election, with 74% of misleading posts lacking visible corrections, totalling 2.2 billion views.
Elon Musk's X platform's crowd-sourced fact-checking feature, Community Notes, is "failing to counter false" claims about the U.S. election, according to a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). Of 283 misleading posts analyzed, 209 (74%) lacked visible corrections for all users.
CCDH noted that these misleading posts amassed 2.2 billion views and urged X to invest in safety and transparency. X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Launched last year, Community Notes allows users to flag false content, crowd-sourcing fact-checking instead of relying on a dedicated team. This report follows X's loss in a CCDH lawsuit earlier this year for allowing increased hate speech. Social media platforms like X are under scrutiny for spreading misinformation, especially regarding elections and vaccines. In August, five U.S. state secretaries urged Musk to address issues with X's AI chatbot, which spread misinformation about the Nov. 5 election.
Musk, who endorsed Trump in July, has faced accusations of spreading misinformation, with polls showing Trump in a tight race against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
