Participating in Content Moderation through Community Notes Registration on Twitter / X

Community Notes on X/Twitter

Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking feature on X (formerly known as Twitter), plays a crucial role in the platform under Elon Musk’s leadership. Originally known as Birdwatch, this feature was introduced before Musk’s acquisition of the company. However, Musk rebranded it and shifted content moderation responsibilities to users through Community Notes.

Participation in Community Notes Program

To participate in the Community Notes program on X, users must meet certain eligibility criteria. The account must be in good standing, without recent violations of platform rules, and have been active for at least 6 months. Additionally, a verified phone number from a trusted carrier is required for account eligibility.

Process of Joining the Program

If eligible, users can sign up for the Community Notes program on X and agree to the terms. After the signup, the platform reviews the application, with some users experiencing short wait times while others may need to wait for several weeks. Once accepted, users receive a notification and can access the Community Notes tab on the platform.
